World’s richest useful idiot?

I’m speaking of Bill Gates,  of course, who might be a whiz kid at creating computer software,  but has proven time and again he hasn’t a clue about why or how freedom works.   He has teamed up with a steady progression of anti-freedom,   capitalist-hating groups,  and done some truly odd things.

It’s one thing when he is contributing his own money to socialist causes,  but now he is urging a financial transaction tax (FTT) on tobacco,  aviation,  fuel and carbon (energy),  to be enforced by all members of the G20 nations.    He is now demanding to spend my hard-earned tax dollars  by reintroducing  then-Senator Barack Obama’s  Global Poverty Act,  a bill Obama introduced in 2008 during his single partial term.   It represents the long-held fervent wish of the United Nations,  and would grab 0.7% of the United States gross national product,  which is estimated to provide at  least $845 billion of taxpayer money more for the U.N. to use against you.

This is just another reason for me to regard Gates as an extremely dangerous person.  I already loathed him for his theft of a basic  operating system  to build on,  together with his extortionate business practices and his increasingly sloppy products.  You can make up your own minds on all that, but[pay attention to the first link,  read  the principles and try to tell me you think he is a swell guy and no danger whatsoever to your future happiness.

Gates and capitalism…

leave a comment »

Bill Gates should know better  than this.   After all,  he became a gazillionaire because of capitalism,  NOT because of socialism,  or communism,  or statism,  or even  progressivism.   He is yet another progressive example of “I have mine, now I’ll keep you from getting yours.”

Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, since Windows 10 is now reaching out to you through your computer all but ordering you to install it.  Not on my life,  Mr. Gates.
