Or, that’s the general idea at least. Twice this week, friends of mine have tried to discuss this with me like it’s a “thing”, and even sent me some bullshit YouTube videos trying to support this perspective. Admittedly, I don’t know much about Bill gates or his efforts to take over the world. My interpretation is that it seems like promoting this idea has become something of a newfound level of “awareness” among the generally extreme right wing, anti-vaccination, evangelical, deep-state mongers, and those they wish to influence. Or not?
So naturally, I figured the zoners would have something to add to my ongoing understanding of this concept.
Not trying to start a debate about do/don’t do vaccinations. This goes far beyond any of that.
Take it away, zone....

^does Bill Gates doesn't vote on tax legislation
Bill Gates: I’ve paid $10 billion in taxes. I should have paid more
Gates: “I think our system can be a lot more progressive (that is richer people paying a higher share).
“A key element is making capital gains taxation more like ordinary income (some have suggested making them the same) and having an estate tax more like we had in the past (55% above $3.5M).
“European countries collect a lot more taxes but through consumption taxes, but those are not progressive.
“If people want the government to do more it needs to be funded and I see us needing to improve our education and health services.
“So yes, I have paid $10B but I should have had to pay more on my capital gains.”
6) On how to combat billionaire tax avoidance
Question from PJHart86: “Hi Bill, what do you think about Rutger Bregman’s recent comments at Davos? is it even possible for governments to compel billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes, even if they wanted to?”
Gates: “As far as I know, most billionaires (and other people) comply with tax laws. There should be more transparency so it is clear who [owes] what and how loopholes are reducing tax collection. Countries need to work with each other on this.
“It is pretty amazing how few countries have estate taxes — even China doesn’t have one.”

One of the basic rules of charitable trusts is that there is enough money put into it so that sum continues to grow and providing a much larger income stream over time, often 10x, then a simple lump sum distribution. As for taxes, Bill Gates has been transparent on his tax returns for decades already and is the largest personal US taxpayer ever. He has paid over 10 billion in personal taxes and that goes up each year.
Comparing him to Jeff Bezos is almost laughable considering that Bezos has a net worth that exceeds the majority of countries in the world and is anything but transparent in his returns. Reality is that Bezos make more every week than most people make in a lifetime.

Lol at Bill Gates giving away
Lol at Bill Gates giving away money and not leaving his children anything. Bill Gates' worth today is more than twice it was in 2006 when him and Buffet each decided to place half their fortunes into foundations and when the Gates Foundation was, well, founded. So first, he only 'gave away' half and has continued to get insanely rich off all his regular wealth holdings, leaving aside all the foundation stuff. Second, all charity money is tax write off money, so essentially, Gates starts by paying almost nothing in taxes and goes on to pay even less thanks to his charity work. As far as the money for his kids thing, what he said was he was going to ONLY leave each of the poor things 10 million dollars so they wouldn't start out dirty stinking rotten rich, just really rich. So yeah, the decisions he's made have been his to make, and he may by no devil, but let's not put him on a pedestal, either. The guy is a shrewd capitalist, first and foremost.
But most importantly to me, beyond whether he's the head of the inner Illuminati Cabal or not, is that I think anytime such large scale global development choices are being so heavily influenced and promoted by the beliefs of one person, that that's inherently dangerous, regardless of how altruistic he may or may not be. There's a lot of ethical issues involved in 'development' projects in the 'third world' and there's a lot of research on that in anthropology and other social sciences. The impact of global development, even what we consider positive development, can be very dangerous to local populations. And frankly, I don't trust any one one person with that much power. That's why we invented democracies with checks and balances.
So maybe he's not part of a global conspiracy, maybe he is - I don't know. But if you think he's doing everything he does with no intention of getting even richer and expanding his business interests (empire) more and more, than I think you are wrong and living in the post-modern delusion of the billionaire good guy that the modern centrist loves to idolize.

Yeah, yeah, it's not enough, he's still accumulating wealth, and he has too much power. Those problems are easy to point out. Viable solutions are much harder to formulate, and I see none of those.

"Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent. But there, we see an increase of about 1.3."
I'm pretty sure he meant that if we decrease childhood deaths in the countries where they are high with vaccines and other forms of health care, and make birth control easier to get, families will have fewer kids. That's what has happened in the so-called developed countries.
Would it be better if there were fewer people, or is the present population ideal, or should we have more?

Yes he wants to control population which is not a bad idea, but that is why he invests in stopping disease because in most of the world people have a bunch of kids to hedge against them dying from Malaria.
These "Gates is trying doing bad things ideas" don't come out of no where. He has said that Billionaires should be taxed more so look no further on this list than the Koch's, Sheldenson's, and the Walton family. That is what they spend their money on.
For two years Trump and the Republicans controlled the House, The Senate, The Supreme Court and the Presidency and what did they do with that power. Just one fucking thing. Lower taxes on the richest people in the world. That is all they care about.

It's well established that
It's well established that Bill Gates believes the world has an overpopulation issue. He's stated this much.
One can also surmise that Bill Gates' views on population was influenced by his father, Bill Gates Sr., who served on the board of planned parenthood. Regardless of your personal and political beliefs concerning Planned Parenthood and reproductive rights, this organization was conceived as a eugenics and population control organization. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood certainly seemed to hold eugenics views, and Planned Parenthood's predominance in black and latino neighborhoods doesn't seem coincidental.
So, instead of jumping to the conclusion that Gates wants to subjugate the world, let's build on this notion that Gates and his family have been heavily invested in the issue of population control.
What are the implications of someone with the above views who, through his charitable foundation, is a major funder of global health initiatives? What is his motivation? Is it an effort to reduce the population, or is he just a benevolent former computer guy that wants to prevent people from getting sick and dying? Let's assume for a moment that a vaccine could be developed that had the potential to sterilize certain "problematic" population areas in the world, but would increase the standard of living for those areas, as less people wouldn't strain the resources of those areas. I certainly have serious ethical issues with this, but i'm sure there are people with extraordinary power that could easily justify that they are doing good for the world by taking such extraordinary measures.
I'm personally skeptical of Gates (and most any other billionaire for that matter) and the corrupt health industry of the world, including WHO and the for-profit corporation CDC. UnreIated to this topic, i find it interesting that the CDC has a patent on the corona virus (not SARS 2 corona virus, but SARS-coV) isolated from humans. One would reason they stand to earn a lot of $ from their research into corona viruses and any treatments vaccinations from such. Is it ethical that a corporation that guides public policy on critical health matters owns a patent and profits off of viruses? The CDC has long been exposed as being a revolving door for the extraordinarily lucrative pharmaceutical industry- but that's another conversation, along with the fact that the vaccination industry is the only industry that has carte blanche immunity from litigation.

< it an effort to reduce the population, >
What's the big deal with reducing the population? As long as it isn't me or mine. Right? It's the natural way for all species to "think."
The less people (to a point), the more resources available and the better "my" chances of survival.
We are animals. We are wired to want less competition. And more resources. It's programmed into us.

Bill Gates is just scary cause he can do what we all innately want. And he may come for you.
