Mr. Gates should be careful about what he wishes for ...

It's like people who wish they weren't a rock star. If you want to be less wealthy, it's pretty simple to achieve that goal, actually.

I wish I wasn't. There is nothing good that comes out of that

Boo hoo hoo.

The little (insert expletive) could give me a couple million, and never miss it. But I'll bet he won't.

While I won't dis Bill on being a tightwad because his Bill and Melinda Gates foundation does some wonderful things to make this world a better place.....

If he feels this way, put your money where your mouth is and liquidate some of that 50 billion in stock, and donate it to worthy causes.

I dont think it's white guilt, in this case. He didnt talk about how his earnings are unjustified or how there are so many poor people out there. He just said he doesnt like the attention. How is that "white guilt?"

If he would give more of his money to the people who send those email chains he wouldn't be as rich. As it is he only sends it to that one guy.

I don't know how Bill Gates manages to stay rich when he's constantly sending large sums of money to anybody who forwards certain emails to at least ten people.

If Donny Deutsch is a "reporter," John Kerry is a stand-up guy.

Because the SOB never pays!!! He owes me thousands for forwarding those messages, but the check never comes.

He should just enjoy it and quit giving in to liberal guilt.
