You think that they hate paying the government money so much that they.... give it all away instead? Yeah, that's some brilliant tax avoidance.

Aren't those donations the equivalent of buying out foreign governments through these?

Seems like that to me

they ''''give'''' it to their own foundation, controlled by their heirs....

In a democracy, they would give it indirectly through taxes. That should teach you something about both their goals and the world we're living in.
