Inode,
If I had billions I'd be wanting to keep it out of the hands of government bureaucrats.
It's his money. He can do as he pleases.

But even that prerogative contradicts the liberal mentality, which is that he should have never been allowed to amass his billions in the first place. It doesn't matter whether he eventually donates it all to charity. It shouldn't have been his in the first place.

Let me repeat that point. Liberals believe that Buffett should never have amassed his billions in the first place.

Hence the reason why Buffett should have donated most of his money to the Federal government, because he believes that government power should be used to prevent the massing of wealth. The fact that he built up so much money in the first place is a fluke, the result of a policy mistake that should be corrected.

He should set an example by directly reversing this mistake of government.

I don't think liberals will get the difference between Buffett donating his wealth to charity, and Buffett donating his wealth to government. The former is totally fine under conservatism. The latter is what liberalism demands.
