    That’s true. He was a ruthless businessman while running Microsoft, and hurt a lot of people, and the industry as a whole.

    Hell I bet trump himself has done plenty of philanthropy

    I seriously doubt that. Every one of his charities that I’ve heard of was actually a fraudulent grift. He stole from cancer patients! I’d be seriously shocked to learn that he’s done a single charitable thing in his life that didn’t directly benefit him.

    Is Bill Gates going out of his way to lobby for taxing the rich

    No, but he has stated that he thinks he and his peers should be taxed a lot higher than they are.

    Idk if Gate’s overall influence balances towards the negative or positive, but I do recognize that he has done some seriously positive things for the world after accumulating his wealth.
