Even if one agrees with the idea that he should have paid more, there is no way what he was doing was freeloading.

Freeloading is taking advantage of the charity of others. Living off of others. He didn't do that. He generated a lot of wealth, and then gave a big chunk of it to the government. He wasn't a charity or welfare case.

Saying that, doesn't imply that he shouldn't have paid more (or that he should have), which is a separate issue.

Lower taxes on investment income isn't gaming the system. Its a feature of the system, not some loophole around it.
