Billions of dollars!!not going for the right uses?

Question

Don't you think it's disgusting the amount of money people like Bill Gates,Donald trump, etc have. They could solve all problems in the U.S with poverty and whatnot. Example :a single mom struggling to feed her kids. A check for just 10 grand from one of these super rich people could solve all her problems.... What are your thought on this?

Another issue is the BILLIONS wasted on stupid **** like "The war in Iraq".... I would also like to hear your thought on this . Ty

Answer 1

As passionately as you feel about this issue, please remember that it is only your opinion that the money you question is not going to good causes. Some would argue that for people who have worked as hard as Bill Gates, a large bank account is a welcome reward. Please remember that nobody gave these people their money (the ones you mention, anyway), they earned it. Gates is giving away his money (lots of it), and Warren Buffet even "hired" Gates to give away all his Berkshire Hathaway earnings, perhaps out of a sense of pre-retirement philanthropy.

The Iraq war is a large drain on our country's finances, but so is the massive bureaucracy that exists in Washington, and nobody seems to want to get rid of that... in fact, the additional government spending being proposed by both candidates will only add to that burden. People voted their representatives and senators into office, and they are the ones spending the money, not the President. Want to fix the budget? Vote the reps that passed the massive spending bills out!

I am not criticizing your opinions, just adding that perhaps it isn't being "wasted" after all.

Answer 2

Bill Gates plans to give away much of his fortune during his lifetime. Same with Warren Buffet.

As for the War in Iraq I think everyone agrees.

Answer 3

Why don't YOU feed that starving mom? I reckon you've never heard of the bucks Bill gives away. He's got his own foundation, dude. What have you done?

As far as the war goes...I pay my 10% taxes. Uncle Sugar been wasting my money longer than you've been alive. I'll be dead soon, so I...don't...care.

Answer 4

Yes I agree with you.

If these multimillion dollar company owners  like bill gates and Donald trump  helped the poor, the working poor(those who have to work 3 jobs to make ends meet) and lower middle class (those who work 2 jobs  to make ends meet) people out , just a bit  things would be so much better and a lot easier on us all.

On the Billions being wasted on  The stupid War and  this Oil drilling is a wast of  the tax payers money.

As I Say  What Clinton fixed in 8 years, Bush  destroyed in on single year

I am A democrat and proud of it

Vote Obama as president and lets get our country back on track.

((Man it took a lot of restrain not to use a few choice words in statment))
