>> He decided that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation deserves his money more than Social Security or Medicare. I agree with that decision.

As do I.

The interview with 60 Mins was interesting, in that he essentially admitted that he believed HE (or Bill/Melinda) were better allocators of resources than the federal government. If that is the case why don't we ALL just pay them instead of the government? The reason, of course, is that most of us have relatively minor estate tax concerns, while it is the biggest of problems for Warren.

I agree. He says he wants liberal big government but doesn't want to fund it. Hyprocrisy at it's finest.

All because they need to believe that some rich guys like Warren Buffett equate big government with altruism.

I wish that a smart man like you would start talking about solving some of these social issues...talk about solutions, instead of talking points like "big government"...what TF does that mean in the backdrop of a nation that is unwilling or unable to cover health care for their seniors?
