Just like Bill Gates, massively rich people have organizations set up to do this over time to achieve the maximum results from their money. Simply handing out 90% of anyone's wealth without a clear long term goal is like throwing money in the wind and would be utterly useless and foolish.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

Make no mistake about it, I think she should be able to do with her money what she wants. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of these rich elites are not doing what they preach. It’s all a photo-op and it makes me sick.
