>Bill Gates 501c3 puts back less than 1 percent off their benovelent humanitarian money back to the United States. The country that coddled him, an his connected mother.

This is just a thinly veiled way of saying "america first".




How so exactly?


It's not obvious? "The needs of america should come first. Don't spend money on those other countries, spend money on the US instead".


That's how it should be. The point is Gates got rich off Americans, cashed in massive tax write-offs in the form of charity donations (taking away tax revenue from Americans), then those donations are used outside America. Now he wants Americans to listen to him because he thinks he knows best. Screw that guy.
