There is a very strange obsession with how other people spend their money. This article basically decries wealthy people using their money to try to earn more money rather than giving their money away to people who need more money. All the while, the author is writing this from, what I expect, isn't a mud hovel while being, what I expect, is fully clothed, fed, and sheltered because they, themselves, did not give all of their money away to people who need more money.

Wow, this guy totally missed Page's point. You know the old adage "give someone a fish, they eat for a day, teach them to fish, they'll eat for a lifetime." Well Page would rather give his money to someone who can figure out how to make life better and teach us to fish, rather than to give it someone who'll just buy some fish.
