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.
