While he advocates higher income taxes on the wealthy, Buffett is doing EVERYTHING he can possibly do to avoid the estate tax. Which is a far bigger threat to Warren Buffett's wealth than income taxes ever were. That doesn't bother you just a bit?

Hey Al, notice how Buffett advocates raising taxes only on income above $500K, not $250K like what Obama and his poll-watching policy makers advocate? Also notice how he doesn't advocate raising taxes on everyone? But I thought you and John Fowler advocate exactly that. Finally, Buffett doesn't say anything about the double-taxation of dividends, because it would totally dismantle his core assertion that the rich are being taxed at a lower rate than the rest of Americans.
