We need an economic system where a Bill Gates or Koch Brothers impossible

[egbertowillies]

As we continue to hyperventilate over the latest Donald Trump tweet, his minions are busy destroying everything America's been growing to represent. While it will make Trump's Right Wing supporters feel accomplished, it will further erode our stature nationally and internationally. Families of immigrants better start engaging.

1. The Gates Foundation is a philanthropic trust is committed to the eradication of malaria and polio

...and controlling the spread of tuberculosis and HIV. Personally I am glad for them. They cant be compared to the Kochs at all.

More than 1 billion people in developing countries suffer from infectious diseases that attract little donor funding, largely because those diseases are rare in wealthier countries.

These neglected tropical diseases, or NTDs, cause anemia and blindness, stunt children’s growth, lead to cognitive impairments, complicate pregnancies, and result in thousands of deaths each year. People living in extreme poverty often suffer from more than one of these diseases at the same time, which affects their ability to make a living and move out of poverty.

You are painfully uninformed about the great things that Bill and Melinda Gates are doing to change the qualify of life for millions around the world.
