Great ideas and everything...but you need those rich folks in the first place to get the funing for these organizations. Id love to run a non for profit, but i need a small business in the first place to even DREAM of having enough overhead to pull it off. The guy is clearly selfless and a huge inspiration, but he also is kinda dreaming unless that room is full of people with deep pockets.

So what if he is a Muslim. We many fake evil so-called on this planet.

Hmm,,, why are you suddenly being fascinated with socialism? helping all the poor sounds good, i would be very careful.

the real problem is that if you cannot afford to feed yourself, you shouldn't be having 14 kids.

Amazing. This man deserves his Nobel Peac prize!!I hope the next person to win a Nobel prize is Salman Khan for creating 'Khan Academy'. Bringing free education to the world on a scale never seen before.

@kicksnareaudio Haha! Still working on it, but much closer to making it real. We really want to make a good impact on society. Thanks for reminding me of this speech in a crucial moment!! You really don't know how much this helps.
