"Evil" Bill Gates does more to solve AIDS than many Countries combined.
If ever there was an example of the success of capitalism, entrepreneurship, and free markets it is exposed in the spending on AIDS research. In a recent Wall Street Journal article it was revealed that the Gate's Foundation has pledged $100 million to the Global AIDS and Health Fund. This amount is greater than that contributed by Sweden ($60 Mill), Nigeria ($2 Mill), Uganda ($2 Mill), Zimbabwe ($1 Mill ), Intn'l Olympic Comm ($0.2 Mill), Kofi Annan ($0.1 Mill) combined. He almost matched Norway's $110 million, and equal to half of what the US gave at $200 million. No other system has the ability to create that much wealth, and thus spend that much on socially beneficial activities. Socialism may have the best of intentions, but capitalism delivers the goods. It is fare more likely that Bill Gates and profit seeking US drug companies will solve the AIDS problem, long before any socialist country of research department of a liberal college could ever hope to. Tragically how our green-eyed envy-motivated class-warfare society thanks Mr. Gates is with an anti-trust lawsuit. He improves the lives of millions if not billions of people with his Windows operating system, and may develop a cure for AIDS, and society treats him as a villain. If there is anything this society need more of, it is "criminals" like Bill Gates, and a lot fewer well-intentioned but do nothing anti-capitalist socialists.
