Sure, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is used for tax evasion, supporting corporate interest in developing countries and to control the WHO. https://www.globaljustice.org.uk/sites/default/files/files/resources/gjn_gates_report_june_2016_web_final_version_2.pdf https://www.globaljustice.org.uk/sites/default/files/files/r... They even advised not to lower prices for vaccines, because then pharma corporations wouldn't invest in the global south anymore.

  If you have evidence of tax evasion, I'm sure the tax authorities would love to hear about it.

    I guess they mean tax avoidance

      Ah, yeah, maybe. I wonder if people know that non-profits, especially those that are that large, are given heavy financial scrutiny and that they can actually check the financial information themselves? The foundation will have a link to download their financial information and, given the levels of oversight and mandatory auditing, they are almost certain to be accurate. The Gates Foundation does great things. I've never understood the complaints. They are pretty heavily scrutinized and their actions are fairly public. It's not some nefarious organization, at least it isn't from what I've read. Edited to add: Hmm... They responded with a stange, now dead, comment. I am no longer sure what they meant. It'd appear they think Jobs is my false god. I remain baffled.

    You know who did real tax evasion? Your false-god Steve Jobs. He took a $1/year salary to beat payroll taxes and paid himself with backdated stock options taxed at long term cap gains rate. And he put Gore on his board who was connected enough to keep the government off his back.
