The first thing the world needs is to wrestle money from these billionaires and fund education for people.

Educated people will understand the impact of their kids, and also have a better chance at making a contribution to society, and taking care of their families they do have.

Huh? Isn't Bill Gates spending his money strategically to best help those people. He's spent over $15 Billion dollars on vaccines. I highly doubt a government will be able to spend that money more effectively.
He is one of the very few oligarchs giving above and beyond the amount required for tax breaks.

It's funny to me because you're bitching about effective govt spending on the internet..a technology developed by the govt.

Id argue government funding has developed more cures for diseases and more technological advances than any other sources of funding in all of history.

NASA put a man on the moon..
