Are you really that stupid, wage slave? Are you really so dumb as to think that a billionaire who loves money will give some away? Are you really that gullible as to buy the big lie of philanthropic billionaires?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px !important; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;Remember this one thing, wage slave, billionaires despise humanity, we see you as weak animals to be exploited.

I am the most philanthropic person in the world, for I am generous enough to rob you all of your time and your energy. I am so philanthropic that sometimes I feel like you should give me money to control your life even more! You do! By paying taxes to my governments.
