    Admittedly, Bill Gates has done pretty well at helping the most needy. But I imagine he’s the exception that proves the rule.

    Probably tried fighting crime first but got wedgied by the first mugger he met and settled for saving and/or educating millions of African children

      If Bill Gates truly wanted to help the poor he would have sent my hungry ass a pizza but has he? No! Selfish bastard

          Nah my landlord is a saint. No theft here. None other than me wondering how feasible it is to steal from a pizzeria.

          Listen I am starving. Sue me

      The problem with even Gates is the lack of democratic control of how his money gets used. If he just decided tk cut the line one day and go fill send on megayachts, nobody would be able to do jack to say no to that.
