Doggy Style Economics 101
First Bill Gates says he’s going to step down from day-to-day activities at Microsoft so he can spend more time giving away big bundles of his $47 billion. Now Warren Buffett says he’s going to turn over much of his $44 billion fortune to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to, well, give away for him. I have an idea. Why don’t companies just charge us less all along, make less exorbitant profits, find CEOs who can be satisfied with bank accounts in the millions instead of billions, and save themselves the trouble of having a late life epiphany that they should give away the zillions of dollars they got from us in the first place? We could call it Greedless Capitalism. Or the Closer to Free Market System. Or maybe How Many Zeroes Does a Person Need. Feel free to send my name to Stockholm for the Nobel Prize in Economics.
