Get your facts right....

Bill Gates doesn't make 50 Billion a year. That is his total net worth not his annual income.

As of the end of fiscial year June 2005 Microsoft had revenues of US$39.79 billion. With this they have to pay employees more than 61,000 people in 102 countries and regions work for Microsoft.
Now how do you figure he makes 50 Billion in annual income?

I will also venture to guess that he donates a hell alot more of his income to charities than you do too. Last total I saw was he gave 3.6 BILLION to one charity alone. He and his wife, Melinda, have endowed a foundation with more than $28.8 billion (as of January 2005) to support philanthropic initiatives in the areas of global health and learning. What have you given back?

The rich get raped in taxes yet still give more to charities than the average Joe.

You are just green with envy and instead of doing what he did to make his kind of money you just want to see the goverment take more of his. When your income goes up and you hit that next tax bracket are you going to be happy to see them take a higher percentage out?

As I've mentioned in a previous post. I make 1/2 what you do, approx 20k pre-tax!. You are just a whiner that won't do the work, get the education and take the risks that the now rich have but whine that they have something you don't and for some sick reasoning you and many who think like you think they should be penalized for it.

I am not a Microsoft/Bill Gates lacky, infact I run Linux. I do however believe that in a country where everyone is suppose to be equal that should include equal taxation.
