But admittedly I do not know all there is to know about tax law, and there could of course be a limit as to how much one can write off...... but if memory servers, the only ones who beat Gates' donation after Katrina was Evil-Mart, or was it Gates beat them.....

Yeah because when Bill spends millions on his charities including retiring form most of his duties form Microsoft to do nothing but spend his wealth on charity hes doing it so he can get a tax right off...

few mistakes you are making:

1. Bill Gates doesn't earn his money through a salary so tax write offs don't mean as much to him the way they do to people who run small businesses or work for others for a living.

2. His Microsoft practices aren't deplorable they're good business moves. Its just that he's so successful that all the cry babies have to gang up on him to inflate their substandard products. Does Netscape even fucking exist any more? Didn't the government break up Microsoft so Netscape would stop being Vaginas? Ohhh nooooo hes adding IE to Windows as the Default browser! MONOPOLY!!! Tell that shit to Firefox Mozilla.

3. When the man retires from most of his business so he can spend the remainder of his life using his money for good, it makes him a good man, not an asshole looking for tax write offs. Thats the most absurd thing I ever heard someone say.
