Don't give me the "argument" that he should just write a check to the government. Why should HE subsidize the Koch brothers greed? On the contrary, he should be working to bring them down.

Spoken like a selfish liberal: Don't give me the "argument" that he should just write a check to the government. BTW Buffet is not content with his 40 billion, he's trying to maximize it all the time. The only reason he's putting most of his wealth in a tax free trust is that he can't take it with him.

Bentway, that's all this is to you. Class envy. I already know that Buffett is content with his $40 billion. What he does with his money and his clout is his business. Only problem is that Buffett wants to raise taxes on all his other fellow billionaires. Sure they can afford it, but can the rest of society afford the consequences? That's something Buffett won't mention because he's shilling for Obama. And his disingenuous attitude hides a political agenda on his part. Anyone who doesn't see this is blind. Tenchusatsu
