    Like RP said... 7 Billion in charity is a good thing.

    I'm sure that if I had made 70 Billion in the last 10 years I would have
    donated at least 7 Billion too.

    When you make 7 Billion dollars a year, you should have a wole lot more
    "disposable" income than when you make 35,000 a year. I donate as much
    as I can afford to charity, but it is less than 10%, I just don't have
    the money
    left over at the end of the month. 7 Billion is 200,000 times more than
    I make
    in a year, and would pay 20,000 $350,000 salaries.

    I don't have anything against spending money in India, but M$ has moved a
    bunch of jobs to India, claiming that it is for competitive reasons.
    Bill Gates
    estate alone could finance 10,000 jobs for 10 years. I just don't buy
    any of
    M$ or Bill Gates sincerity.
