I believe you are mistaken. The elimination of malaria would have been reported in the papers and on the t.v.

Have you a list of the employees and their relationship to lil bil and what their compensation is?



No, I don't. Never seemed important to do. I'm confident as a foundation, mandated to publish their finances, the information is readily available if it's that important to you.

I owe someone a big favor so I employ them to work in my foundation as a v.p. in charge of an oak desk and pay them a meaningful salary. Bingo I pay off my debt with what used to be my money but is someone elses money now that I did not have to pay taxes on. Life just don't get much better.

Malaria has not been eliminated.

That is what I said .

It has been eliminated in "several" countries.

Which countries would those be? Was that accomplished by anything that gates did?

I'm curious if you've read anything in magazines or on the net since the early '90's?

What exactly would you imagine Mr Gates owes anyone any money for any thing?


Why is it that in your zip code rich people don't spend money?

It's a gut feel but, with his net worth growing by easily 1 - 3 billion annually,


Might want to go with something besides your ignorant unsubstantiated opinion here.


I'm fairly certain he's one of several on the planet who generally tends to pay cash for pretty much everything.

Research tends to indicate that the rich do not pay cash for anything.

This would be your ignorant,unsubstantiated opinion

While I despise Bill Gates for a variety of reasons, tax fraud isn't one of them.
Gates paid all applicable taxes.

This would be your ignorant unsubstantiated opinion of what I said. I have not accused lil bil of tax fraud?

Really? Allow me to quote (with uneducated misspellings):"And being "gifted" cellphones by your buddy bill with u.s. taxpayers money. Why is it that those in the u.s. whom you castigate are not to be helped but those in the same situation in africa get free goodies to help them into the 21st century. Welfare for foriegners but nothing for our own citizens? "

In other words, gates paid taxes on income as he received it - and capital gains as he accrued it.
Donating 20 billion dollars does entitle him to the charitable donation deduction - however the amount of money gifted far exceed any charitable benefit.

Another of your childish ignorant opinions.

Well, actually Thompson, it's U.S. federal tax law, not opinion, childish or otherwise.

Well, considering that wasn't the question posed just prior to the below response (copied and pasted by you in complete contrast to what was originally posted to fit your odd, and I suspect, psychopathic need to be correct), let's simply avoid the obvious and go to the question:

"Why is it that in your zip code rich people don't spend money?" They do. Just not as much as in others. As is the case throughout the world. (I hope that helps).

It's a gut feel but, with his net worth growing by easily 1 - 3 billion annually,


Might want to go with something besides your ignorant unsubstantiated opinion here.

I suspect Mr Gates's net worth and annual growth in same, is somewhat substantiated in a variety of locations, the net being one of many.

I'm fairly certain he's one of several on the planet who generally tends to pay cash for pretty much everything.

Research tends to indicate that the rich do not pay cash for anything.

Allow me to rephrase for those less well economically educated than yourself Thompson. It kind of refers to the previous comment in the post that you bastardized.....he probably doesn't have any debt (I'm guessing....could be wrong). He has a net worth of 72 billion dollars. Borrowing is probably not as much on his radar as lending.

That's fascinating. Entirely fabricated, copied and pasted words simply to fit your prose. Poorly done but, be assured Thompson, very few are affected by your impudent veil.

However, I'll answer your prose even as you asked it in a botched fashion (above).

Actually, as a founding member (and the largest contributor to same) of the Foundation, I'd imagine he has amazing influence. However, the rules (and federal laws) regards foundations such as the Gates Foundation, mandate very specific rules.

As a Board member, does he have any influence at all? I'd imagine he does.

Does he have a smidge of latitude? I'd imagine.

Which means he can pretty much give the money to who the fuck he chooses.

I cannot validate that which is not true.
Neither can you.
