Love what they print as "news" these days...
Sounded like a puff piece for free market ideology to me, not a legitimate news piece.

I'd like to ask, in what historic frame of reference have these policies worked where there wasn't some huge mass of the public left out and in bad sorts? People constantly say that free market capitalism is the answer to all that ails, but as far as I can see in every occasion it has had free reign, things have been hardly peachy.

I'm sure Jesus would buy, "I'm being really selfish to help others."

I don't love Gates, but at least it's an attempt at a middle ground thank you. Better than ideology dressed up as news.
