I'm a really nice person especially around xmas time, but nobody hardly notices.

I donate much more than 0.01% of my earnings to charities and nobody calls me a hero.

Who the heck does this Bill Gates guy think he is?

You do realize that Gates (like Warren Buffet) is giving most of his wealth away to charities, right?

That's not very hard to do when you're worth billions of dollars, because even if you give away 99% of your wealth to charity, you'd still be worth tens of millions of dollars at the end of the day.

Regular folks can't afford to do that without putting their financial stability at risk.

Nevertheless, I do respect Bill for his actions, and I believe all modern tycoons should feel responsible for making the world a better place through charity.
