        Have no problem with their wealth. I have a problem when the wealthy manipulate public policy to keep them wealthy at our expense.

        these two things are inseparable. You don't get that rich without manipulating policy.

        wasn't the monopoly theory that MS shouldn't bundle free Internet browser? They're all free today.

        "Sweatshop" is often leveled indiscriminately at nonunion foreign labor. Really just encourages Trump.

        I am pretty happy that Bill Gates is there. Amazing donations and support for third world medical research. Go him and the missus.

        what's the point? One of those guys pledged to give 99% of his wealth to charity. Several are trying to eradicate disease.
