I'm all for people giving as much in taxes as they want to. Buffett could in fact donate $10 billion and fund the entire AIDS program in Africa. Why won't he?

As for Turner, he pledged a billion in stock in ten installments over ten years to the UN. Since he was trying to secure broadcast spectrums, rights of way and content distribution rights in several countries where the UN had control through peace-keeping, economic development and humanitarian efforts, this "donation" was nothing more than a self-serving business partnership. Don't know what ultimately happened to his pledge after the merger.
