Contrary perspectives are great if they make any sense. Has anyone shown that Gates hasn’t paid required taxes? He doesn’t make the tax laws, but advocates for a higher rate for the wealthy.

    I’m for a tax system in which, if you have more money, you pay a higher percentage in taxes. And I think the rich should pay more than they currently do, and that includes Melinda and me.

Do you think his money would have done more good going to the government compared to his foundation?
