“
Gates knew he had amassed financial wealth, and had his own view of what should happen to massive wealth if still present at the death of the wealth-holder. Sharing the same view as his father, Gates strongly believed that if a person earning the wealth didn't give those funds away—in his or her lifetime or through a charitable foundation—that the funds should be subjected to estate taxes before being passed to any heirs. Of course, Gates had long committed to ensuring that the majority of his wealth would be used to improve the lives of others through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He also recognized that his success was based not just on his own achievement but the educational system afforded to him as well as other benefits that can be attributed to government intervention, such as a stable country where rights and freedoms to create his company were present: "And my case is a clear one. I'm a beneficiary of an educational system and a system of stability and incentives, where I got to hire bright people and come up with products. And the fact I was 19 years old, that didn't matter. If I had a good piece of software, somebody could buy it from me."㉓ 去书内
