"Take Buffet and Gates et al and have them donate what they have lying around." IMHO they can do as they choose. They have made wise investment decisions and are enjoying the fruits of their choices. IF they wish to have their opinions treated with respect they need to contain them to areas in which they have expertise. IMHO expertise in inflicting higher tax rates on the country can be gained by voluntarily subjecting one's self and one's corporation to the rate. Simple if Warren Buffet talks about investments I am interested. If he talks about what I need to do he can save his breath. The rest of the people who post about the glories of high taxes can post copies of their voluntary payments. <sarcasm>Heck if we really want to make a difference why don't we just nationalize Microsoft and Berkshire Hathaway? That would really make a dent in the national debt. </sarcasm>
