Not that I'm claiming I would if I was in his position, just saying someone that rich can change the world in a second but doesn't. |
First of all, the African debt was like $295 billion, which is way more than Bill Gates ever had. Secondly, the G8 countries are slowly cancelling African debts anyway. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4081220.stm)
And he HAS been changing the world... http://www.gatesfoundation.org/GlobalHealth/ you can read about all the stuff the foundation does.
