AG> Obviously, Bill Gates had to had done some kind of work to be where

... when he dies. In the meantime, he'll get a bunch of tax breaks for his 
charitable donations .. the sole purpose of contributing to charities. 
Regardless, the point is that Bill Gates is throwing away lobster while many 
more people (in the U.S. and abroad) go hungry every single night. So, I 
don't 
shed too many tears for Bill Gates when I see software piracy. If piracy 
costs 
Microsoft $11 million/year, then Gates will only earn $3 billion instead of 
3.11 billion. Actually, that probably isn't true. Gates would never take a 
pay 
cut .. he would just pass it off onto his employees.
