Perhaps he is only being humanitarian. That is great. But as I said- if he is given the tax break- he can give every penny of it back to the government or to whomever he feels needs it. He could even give his poor secretary he was talking about a nice bonus. She could in turn reinvest it back into BRK or whatever, and make TAX FREE income from it.

What is the problem with free choice? WHY does he want the government to keep MY income too and decide what to do with it? Ulterior Motive- Perhaps if we were as wealthy as him we would make statements like that too. After all, he has more than he could spend in 10 lifetimes already.

It's a simple matter of socialism vs. free markets and capitalism, IMO. Do you want the government to keep your income and decide what to do with it- or do you want the free will to decide yourself? I'm all for deciding myself.

Rant over. <g>
