addendum : not only is microsoft a complete creation of the amerikan state thanks to state granted, so called 'intelectual property' monopoly. MS sell the garbage they 'produce' to governments worldwide. Which means their 'income' comes from taxation. And https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/26/us/politics/ai-microsoft-pentagon.html "Microsoft said on Friday that it would sell the military and intelligence agencies whatever advanced technologies they needed “to build a strong defense,” and in this 'context' the gates foundation is just another tool to expand the power of the biggest criminal organization on the planet - an organization composed of the american 'government' and the 'corporations' it creates. bottom line, the only good 'billionaires' are dead billionaires. Cue in Jim Bell's list.
