Bill Gates is starting a new fight against systemic poverty in America, as his private foundation announces millions of dollars toward unspecified initiatives ranging from data projects to funding for community activists.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation said Thursday that it will spend $158 million on the issue over the next four years. Specific programs and grants haven't been identified but Gates' new U.S. work will be informed by the U.S. Partnership on Mobility from Poverty.

This is how you do it, folks
You put your money where your mouth is when you feel strongly about an issue
You don’t run to the govt and enact laws that force others to pay for your projects
