That you can make more money by investing than by working is quite old news.
read Balzac's "Le Père Goriot" on that.

Giving to charity is something even the poorest people can do, for their own mental health. It's a psychological boost and doesn't need to involve money. I'd hate to think I was too poor to give anything to someone in real need.

Volunteer at a soup kitchen. It won't cost you a dime.

That’s because they didn’t invent a world changing software solution which a vast proportion of the global population saw value in purchasing.

It’s called innovation and entrepreneurship.

What is stupid is investing a large amount of ones hard earned finance into a software/hardware solution which nobody needs or wants.

Mate, you just said the Gates donate very heavily to charities!! What exactly is your beef?
You are right about many people not earning 128 bucks a day - as if this were a pittance, which it isn't. Take a look away from the USA for a moment and you'll find that many people don't earn $128 in a month.

You didn't found Microsoft corporation, thus you do not earn what Bill Gates does. That's the reality of this world. If you don't like being poor, come up with your own brainy idea. Stop trying to bitterly tear down those who did better than you - especially by criticizing their philanthropic efforts.

It's called parasitism. Particularly in the case of Bill "Once the botnet is up, who cares what system goes down? That's not my department" Gates.

It's called theft and fraud. Microsoft business practices are predatory.

That's just my point..how many people/companies did Gates crush on his way to the top ? Now he's Mr. Nice Guy giving to charities....and what about his own blood descendants ? His great-great-great grandkids might need some of that money that he's donating.
