lets make sure that no money is spent on that son of a bitch when he gets sick. fuck you bill. you would also have alot more teacher jobs if you were to give all of your money and put it into the school system. how about that idea, shithead?

[Samuel Cook]

he spend over 60% of his wealth on charities, and he can probably buy the best doctors in the world with only his wallet, he has actually used his wealth for charities most of his life where he has been rich, and you want an independent man to use his money on the goverments buisness, thats a communist thought
