I don't begrudge them the money... Nor do I. They deserve their money, but it blunts their sensitivity to the pain they inflict on others with their liberal choices. Gates is in favor of an estate tax, money that has already been taxed when earned. He has so much money he can't give it away fast enough. He doesn't realize that an estate tax for a little guy is devastating to his future welfare. Those exemptions don't pan out for members of the greatest generation trying to pass on a little wealth to their offspring, who might well be depending on an insufficient pension.
