I think Gates, Buffet, Clinton and all their Hollywood friends should stand up tall an start donating all they can. They should publish what they give by a percentage of their wealth or income and make a well publicized issue of who "outgives" the others.

I'd like to see the loud mouths have some good old American competition. I'd like to see Tom Hanks, Babs Streisand and Sandra Bullock step up and hand their great big facsimile checks for $20 or $30 MILLION to the government.

If Gates really meant that he would donate ALL of his money to either the government or the “poor.” And by that I mean every cent. They didn’t steal the idea from Steve Jobs. Let the
Gates progeny find some smart person’s idea to copy.
