Did you know Bill Gates is a socialist?

Check out this LTTE:

It's about Common Core, and it contains this quote:

I heard one of the people behind this is Bill Gates; that should scare anyone with half a brain, this guy is a socialist.


Last I checked, Gates was one of the most significant capitalists this country has ever produced. Forget wind power. Forget solar. Exhume Karl Marx, glue magnets to his legs, wrap two miles of wire around him and rebury him in Idaho, and the electricity output from all the spinning in his grave will dwarf that of the Grand Coulee Dam.

on a $75 bill. I think that is socialist according to the most common CONservative definition so I reluctantly understand where they're coming from.

I wonder if he was born that way, or was his critical faculties removed, or is he hooked on Hillbilly Heroin? So sad...
