And they stand alongside Lord Nuffield, Nobel, Bill Gates and the Sage of Omaha. All people who have built massive wealth through their personal efforts and use it to advance equality and help the underprivelidged. And shock horror they all come from the evil Us and Europe!

So in other words he is not actually giving it away but putting it in his Chan Zuckerberg Initiative which will have tax exemptions which will then put his money in other charities that have tax exemptions. Sounds just one big swindle to me.

If she got her mitts on it where would it go, into corrupt politicians pockets! its the same all over the third world. Just ask Brarsehole he will confirm it. Why should the taxman get any of it, please explain?

Dec 02nd, 2015 - 04:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't believe they can state that he is worth $45b, if in fact some of that will go towards taxes - that would mean he was worth less than that full amount.
You'll never see Chavez Family, Castro Family, Kirchner Family willing give away their money.

What do you mean “you”?
Aren't you a property owning, TAX-paying, “bolt-hole” of Trout Run Pennsylvania???
Gosh, that would make it your society and your responsibility, I guess. Or did you forget that story ? ? ?

Or do I just own a bit of real estate....
Go ahead and defend the indefensible, with a deflection...
Last I heard you were goign ona Turkey Shoot, does that mean you are a gun owner too?
Dec 03rd, 2015 - 02:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0USA loves their guns, like every nutbag liberal first thing they do is want to ban guns, didn't work too well in Paris though did it?
Most gun deaths are from suicides and gang members killing other gang members and nobody cares about that....
Also the most violent cities in the USA have been run by bleeding heart liberals for 40 yrs and have very strict gun controls. Nobody seems to ever want to talk about that though.

Dec 03rd, 2015 - 03:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There you go trying to excuse yourselves...
Man up and admit you are a nation of psycho's like no other nation on earth...
It seems your President agrees with me...
“President Barack Obama has responded to the shooting.
”One thing we do know is that we have a pattern of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere in the world,“ he said.
”There are some steps that we could take, not to eliminate all incidents, but to make sure they happen less frequently.”
Yeah we know... it's not rocket science...
Make it difficult for all the nuts to get guns...
I am sure Odumbo agrees with a lot of your nonsense. He's pretty much ignored here and considered foolish.
Dec 03rd, 2015 - 04:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You've got a gun and you're nuts.
Give me your address so I can let someone know.
See why that won't work
Stupid liberals never think through policy.
Therein lies the problem...
Dec 03rd, 2015 - 05:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I can walk into Gander Mountain opposite the Lycoming Mall and walk out armed to the teeth like Rambo....no licence or permit required...
I can buy a long gun...rifle etc. at a yard sale.... no one would even know...
So could Conqueror....that is just crazy....
I was even offered a handgun for Rattlers...for free....madness....
I've even been to those house auctions when someone dies and they sell whole gun collections to the highest bidder....
Though I did buy their brand new ride-on mower instead....;-)
LOL, when it comes to guns, you're “Cheap Shot” voicey, “citizen of Trout Run”.
Dec 03rd, 2015 - 06:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Where do you get your ideas of America, TV? or RT??
Speaking of deflection - again, you've taken things far off course. Far better to talk about the philanthropy of Zuckerberg, than the mealy mouthed bile of a miserable curmudgeon like you.
12. I don't see any problem buying whatever you want. I think more people should have concealed carry permits. The streets would be safer and people would be more polite.
Dec 03rd, 2015 - 06:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Anyhoo its just another Muslim practicing their “peaceful religion” all the libtards talk about all the time.
Cue, weepy hand-wringing holier-than -thou Elaine to chime in about now...

Dec 03rd, 2015 - 09:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It takes all kinds to make a balanced society.
On my experience, the only Americans I encounter are even minded, reasonable, and great hosts. A good number are avid gun owners, very few are obsessed. I have several friends with concealed carry permits - though rarely do they carry.
They all seem to have respect for weapons, many have never handled a gun.
This is in stark contrast to to the internet rhetoric and the picture that “voice” would have us believe.
I have never felt unsafe in the US, and I travel there a lot.
Where I grew up we didn't lock our doors. When we sold the house we didn't even have keys to it.
Dec 04th, 2015 - 01:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I live in a large city now, there are places i won't go at night but in general I am safe, I don't worry about getting mugged, I don't live behind 12 foot walls, I never see armed guards on private property or in neighborhoods, I can walk up to a U$15MM and ring the bell and usually the owner will answer. Its not like most places even UK or EU.
We will never give up our guns, Odumbo and the rest of the weepy hand wringing Dems can't seem to understand that. They're either delusional or stupid. I don't know which but I can guess.
There's a general sense in the USA that things are right. We're in for a massive change. I can feel it and I hope I'm not wrong.
