No, we don't deserve an equal start. That is foolish and has never been the case throughout history. We start where we are and proceed from there. It works just fine if you have desire and drive.
@@jaycarver4886 That's patently absurd, and frankly un-American. Desire and drive are meaningless if you're going to place some folks' children at a starting line that's a hundred yards behind your kids. Do you fear that they actually may have more "desire and drive" than yours have? What else could explain your rationale?
I was not a Ballmer fan until I watched his regular TH-cam channel, USAfacts. He presents various statistics and facts regarding our country (USA) but ends by telling us that we must make our own choices regarding people and issues. Quite well done! Thanks, Steve!!!
I saw him a couple times during the Windows Vista launch in 2007, very enthusiastic guy. He always gave me a coach/general vibe when he talks. I missed the chance to take a picture with him because I was wandering around in Best Buy. A friend told me a story about how he stopped to fix their car when they lived in Washington state. He always came across more approachable than Bill.
I came across Steve one time in the lobby when I worked at MS. When his hands got full, he just held his paper coffee cup in in his teeth for a moment while he got stuff sorted. There were a bunch of people around him, but he didn't want to bother them. Very unpretentious and a regular guy.
BEAUTIFUL! I appreciate the integrity of these two. Reminds me of the Dale Carnegie days where billionaires gave away most of their wealth to help the less fortunate.
Sharing your blessings will bless all your family’s your generations. I wish someone had ever help me so I could finish my school. God bless you for all you do with kids in need.
@darinherrick9224 ya know, i used to be against that thinking. I'm definitely a capitalist republican (not a supporter of anyone in DC), but this is all created wall street money. Wall street needs to go.
He is the only in the top level net worth(100 billion range) who made it by working for somebody-Microsoft. Everybody else started a company or inherited.
I live in WV. Yes there are several government agencys to help people. I own 1& 1/2 acre of rural property that I've been living on. I qualify for a home loan per their Rural Developement and Agriculture Dept. requirements. Once i tried to get the loan they decided that a mobile home certified by hud was all they would allow. I have an autoimmune disease that responds very poorly to chemical offgassing in mobile homes. I had a 600sq feet cottage i wanted built. They said No. I have only electricity. No water. No sewage. No heating & cooling. The government does have the programs. They just force you to choose a trailer in my circumstance. Otherwise I can just suffer & do without. I spoke with them several times & was thrilled to start the process. Once I started the process that's when i was informed mobile home or no home at all. I'm 62 & expect to die in the woods I love & own.
When Bill Gates stepped down as Microsoft CEO and Steve Ballmer substituted for him as CEO, Steve became the company's largest shareholder after Bill sold most of his shares.
Finnally a real point of truth. Yup. Bel biv de Bezos is just as guilty. These spaced out clowns gutted King county and wa state then left. Such wonderful souls. They backed laws that countinue to stifle our standard of living here.
Because she is so passionate about children, finally having my first grandchild last year i now see every child as my grandchild and to see little children suffer for any reason is heart wrenching.
the real thing people need to focus on is young men,, I've seen resources for women and children even animals which is great but nothing for young men ...if you help young men you fix most of society's problems ...Anything else is patching and not fixing ....
The Supreme Court rules in the disastrous decision Citizens United that corporations is a person. I say treat them as a person and tax their @ like a person. We never see anyone benefit from this charity ever. Pay your taxes.
Admit you made a mistake trading SGA, Gallo and five first round picks for Paul George. Kawhi is a bust and you extended him knowing his right knee was damaged?
How annoying that Ballmer's wife treats him like a little boy if he wants to buy the Seattle Seahawks? How about supporting the guy who gave you such a wonderful life? I will leave you if you make another awesome investment. This is sad.
Please invest in social enterprises, sustainability-focused micro-enterprises and impact-driven start ups. There are many that are looking for funding, both within the US and overseas. Doing this will create virtuous circles of social, economic and environmental benefits that goes on and on. Thank you.
@@iec7587 Nobody is taking anything and that is a fallacious way of looking at anyway. Proportionally, they still pay less than ever other classification. This snippet is all about how the Ballmer's want more people to have better opportunities. More money needs to be in the system not more in fewer hands, which helps no one, and serves no purpose.
I always wonder with all these billionaires giving all this money away, who monitors that the money is goes to where its suppose to?? To think that there will be no skimming would be naive.
Don't think they just toss that money out to anyone. There is usually a lot of research on the charities that get the funds before actually handing over of money.
This just popped up on my U Tube channel and what a Beautiful couple. I would love to get a bit of assistance to pay off my College loans and this would help me with contributing to helping with raising my 5 grandchildren
If you give away $1 billion, you could literally give every American $1 million dollars and have over $600 million left. Wonder where that $1 billion went?
What can we do to improve testing scores in public education? The ultimate empowerment is to teach children to read, write, reason and calculate. We don't do that.
I doubt that is their main reason for giving. They have more money than they could spend in several lifetimes and they know it and I doubt if they even spend a lot of time even thinking about taxes like us commoners do.
@@karenkoe7096 Everyone of these rich people do everything they can to evade taxes. They cook the books until they pay 0 in taxes, and if they happen to pay anything then they donate it to charity so the state gets nothing. They donate to charitys their friend's organised so they can be invited to fancy partys and elite society's that are funded by the very tax dollars they donated. These "charity" organisations own huge estates where the elites can meet up and rub shoulders with each others, believe me i know how these things work.
Fair play to them! The world needs more people like them in it! Any billionaires reading this I could do with £10k to start my buisness and change my life😂
They did not make the money. People like you made them. The thumbs down is for people allowing these kinds of people to keep illegaly concentrating wealth on themselves.😢
Admirable couple and an incredible example of integrity and compassion.
Pelosians
They both come off as absolutely genuine.
Refreshing!
I love his wife. They're such kind people.
Such a wise comment, we don't get to decide what family we're born to, so everyone deserves an equal start
No, we don't deserve an equal start. That is foolish and has never been the case throughout history. We start where we are and proceed from there. It works just fine if you have desire and drive.
Every one deserves an equal opportunity.

What an awesome couple. And the wife is so beautiful-with a huge heart!
Thanks for your kindness to and support of people! You have truly changed the lives of countless children.

Thank you! Senior citizens also need help.
Please do a show on Steve Ballmer’s weight loss journey.
Very impressive !!
Wow what a blessed couple for doing amazing things for the kids.. God Bless
This is the kind of guy the country needs. I hope he is successful.
Children stuck in the foster system all need lawyers. It’s the only way forward.
Much respect, bless you both 🙏❤️
BIG LOVE & THANKS for Mr. & Mrs. Ballmer* This is The Way*
I love people with social intelligence and responsibility. Awsome couple 🙏❤️
Blessings upon them
BEAUTIFUL! I appreciate the integrity of these two. Reminds me of the Dale Carnegie days where billionaires gave away most of their wealth to help the less fortunate.
Because the sports question about the team is more important than kids and helping others.
Sharing your blessings will bless all your family’s your generations. I wish someone had ever help me so I could finish my school. God bless you for all you do with kids in need.
Beautiful couple fighting over Good things to do than fighting over personal problems ❤❤
Two amazing people
What a woman! I love her! It seems he is luckier in his personal life.
We need more billionaire like them.
We don’t need ANY billionaires. Period.
@@darinherrick9224 need? no but anyone should be able to with hard work and luck

Milton Hershey had the same passion for helping kids
Beautiful interview.
Got to love these folks
He is the only in the top level net worth(100 billion range) who made it by working for somebody-Microsoft. Everybody else started a company or inherited.
Bernard Arnault bought the company and built it up. He didnt start or inherit it....does that count

They Are Fun, Respect, LOVE, Brains & Teamwork. God Bless Them.
Thank you for all you do. 😊
I've never been a Clipper fan (wish they would change the name) But I want them to win just because of Ballmer!
She is soooo right.
Admirable! 👏⭐️❤️
Steve - Bring back Windows Phone.
what a great couple...God bless you both
Wow! Decent billionaire people. This is so rare.
God bless them, wonderful 🙏
I wish these folks would help me out. I'm trapped on disability....
With just 1 million in cash from them would get rid of all my debt have my house paid off and I would have a good start.
Thank you for sharing.😊
Hank from Breaking Bad is loaded
Thank you! Tell your rich friends too!
They have big hearts!
AWESOME PEOPLE
When Bill Gates stepped down as Microsoft CEO and Steve Ballmer substituted for him as CEO, Steve became the company's largest shareholder after Bill sold most of his shares.
largest individual shareholder with 4.4%, Vanguard is the largest with almost 10%
WA state home of Microsoft had no income tax and sales tax is 10% thanks billionaires

Hey just out of curiosity did you edit this to manilulate your audience?
All interviews are edited to some degree. Usually due to time constraints. Got to get those commercials in.
After all clips with this guy I read title as 'giving away developers'
Why does she seem like she's on the verge of tears throughout this entire interview? 🤔
Most old 🧓 people speak like that.
Because she is so passionate about children, finally having my first grandchild last year i now see every child as my grandchild and to see little children suffer for any reason is heart wrenching.
Maybe you don't have anything you're truly passionate about? If you did, you would understand.
@@mazwide9400 one of the most ignorant comments here.🤦🏻♂ What are you, ten yers old? 👶🤡
@@skyrider4789 Truth hurts🤣Are you old 🧓 too?
yes we stepped in it!
THAT'S AWESOME FOR REAL
how can i be a member
What about homeless veterans?
Their focus seems to be children.
Start with downtown Seattle
He's so goofy he's cute
Kids that age out of the Foster Care system. Beds, continued education and provisions under one roof.
and that is why I believe america is the greatest country on earth. (not to put any other country down, but just to praise america for all it does!)
Wonderful people
So awesome and unexpected
Can I have a house? Nothing big, just a decent starter home.
Do you still think the iPhone will be a failure?
the real thing people need to focus on is young men,, I've seen resources for women and children even animals which is great but nothing for young men ...if you help young men you fix most of society's problems ...Anything else is patching and not fixing ....
If you help them as children that should/could carry through to adulthood. Waiting until they are young men may be too late.

They can give me a billion. I know exactly what I'd do with it.
Buy the Seahawks Steve Ballmer
I just want to buy a meatball sub- really
In Manhattan it costs $16 bucks
I’m hungry
I haven’t seen a penny of this shi*… hook a brother up
Such a tacky comment👎🏾👎🏾
I'll be happy to recieve it. Just 250k would set me up.
Come to Africa 🌍 Kenya, on the Slopes of Kilimanjaro in Maasai Land , there's enough for me n you Annie out Here 😊
What about the rest of the usa that has been given up for cash, guilt, open borders, and outright over taxation at all levels of governance? Please. 😢
If he earned the money, he should be able to decide where he spends it. If he wants an NFL team, he should be able to buy it.
To bad more of the insanely amount of money help their fellow man
Just once I would like it to rain money on me.
Wow what n awesome couple
Bruh he giving away money cuz he can't get Giannis to go to la
May Jehovah Continue To Bless The Ballmers 🙏🏾
It doesn't take brains to get rich. All it takes is persistence.
a little luck doesnt hurt
They are aware that there is a need for social issues.
Can I have some change?
Please invest in social enterprises, sustainability-focused micro-enterprises and impact-driven start ups. There are many that are looking for funding, both within the US and overseas.
Doing this will create virtuous circles of social, economic and environmental benefits that goes on and on.
Thank you.
They still have PLENTY!
If only I could get a grand to pay for food.
When TSHTF they'll go to their underground bunker somewhere.
good for them, they earned it
@@bobtuiliga8691 Let's see how many salt ot the earth folks they invite in.
They also get tax credit for it, dont forget that. So is not so glory you think it is.
How much are you donating? Those tax credits are also there for you.
Personally, I still think it is far better for the people to be taxed more heavily and more wealth be more evenly distributed.
so just take what is others???
top 1% pay 50%
top 10% pay 90%
bottom 50% pay NO %

Its all about you.....
He was a disgrace to Microsoft.
