Let me just take a guess....because charitable trusts don't play taxes anyway, and so they would have nothing to gain? Oh my gosh, you've just blown the Left's cover....!!!! Buffett will have to talk to you, I guess....<g>

>>Let me just take a guess....because charitable trusts don't play taxes anyway, and so they would have nothing to gain?<< Yes, you're on a roll here, but consider this -- suppose that Congress instituted a flat tax or a sales tax instead of an income tax -- that would shoot the charitable trust scam all to ruins. Generations of rich kids would have to get real jobs. Anybody who doesn't understand what a gravy train these things are for many generations of rich descendents isn't paying full time and attention. When you see Warren Buffett and Bill Gates trying to talk Congress out of something in the tax code -- hold onto your wallet, it's going to be a bumpy flight.
