>> i-node believes that Gates and Buffet are giving away 99% of thier fortunes upon their deaths to avoid paying 50% inheritance taxes!

What they are doing is trying to rule from the grave, which is forbidden by law unless you stick your money in some kind of foundation. They don't want their money to go to government. I wouldn't, either.

Government is a poor allocator of resources, just as Buffet said.
