Perfect example of what I've always maintained, the death tax effects the wealthy middle income that have done well with saving and investing. It has no effect on the mega rich who the clowns in DC want you to believe they are targeting. And the fact that Buffet made all this stink about wanting the tax kept on and then avoids it personally should be shouted from every roof top.

Put your money where your mouth is Warren, let the fed tax it and the remainder go into trust.

Not quite sure how you can believe this, which you wrote:

I laud them for being active, but using their own resources to fix the problems they identify is the responsible way to dispatch their obligations.

....and also this:

When billionaires back the death tax, keep in mind that they have no intention of actually paying it. They are being "generous" with other people's money. This is the way in which the superrich wage class warfare against the merely affluent.

Please explain.
