Why would Bill Gates run for president when he can get his cronies put in positions of power and actually lobby presidents all around the world without having to be elected and re-elected? It is a life-long career for him and he has more political power than every president in isolation because presidents can rarely keep their position for longer than several years.
"Bill Gates may soon become US budget chief by proxy (his crony in charge)."The Gates Foundation, like an octopus with tentacles, has already put many members of staff in positions of power, e.g. in education, agriculture, and energy. Why would anyone entrust a looting giant for education of children or put his goons in charge of the national budget? Maybe because the system has already been rotten from the inside. Remember that Gates' budget know-how is based mostly on dirty tricks; both he and Microsoft are not paying tax owing to political entryism. If one lets this sociopath send his goons around to control panels on various walks of life, the no wonder policy becomes people-hostile and corporations-leaning. The government is lobbied by corporations and Gates together (yes, side by side) and it shows. The government has its separation from commerce blurred, so it is akin to fascism.
In what's not exactly news anymore, Bill Gates may soon become US budget chief by proxy (his crony in charge). To quote: "A former leader at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is close to confirmation as the director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.
"President Obama nominated Silvia Mathews Burwell to the position in March. On Wednesday she met with the Senate Budget Committee in Washington D.C. "
"Microsoft itself seems to be another Enron waiting to implode"Also noteworthy is this: "The $4.2 billion-asset company said Thursday that Connie Collingsworth, general counsel of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has been elected a director. Collingsworth, who once was a partner at Preston Gates & Ellis, manages the Seattle foundation's legal needs and serves on its management committee."

Meanwhile, quite revealingly, Gates continues dumping Microsoft shares. Yes, "Bill Gates sold 12,605,492 shares of Microsoft ( MSFT ) for $390,360,320" despite gaining 7 billion dollars in wealth last year. He just doesn't bank on Microsoft growth. That's why he left, to expand in other areas. Microsoft itself seems to be another Enron waiting to implode. Maybe it will need public subsidies (a bailout) that the US Budget Chief can facilitate. ⬆
