Buffett . . . Soros, Gates Sr. and some of the Rockefellers got great press for joining with a group called "Responsible Wealth" that seeks preservation of the estate tax. Buffett was given laudatory press for remarks such as the one to the New York Times about "choosing the 2020 Olympic team by picking the eldest sons of the gold-medal winners in the 2000 Olympics."

But one thing the laudatory articles didn't say is that Buffet owns insurance companies that profit mightily from the threat posed by the estate tax.

Whether the superrich have hidden financial motives or no, I know not. But what is excruciatingly clear is that even it not,

1. The middle class exists because its members adhere to an ethic of personal responsibility

2. The Republican Party is the party of the middle class

3. "Objective" journalism is opposed to individual responsibility

4. The rich get a return in Public Relations flattery when they attack the middle class from the left.
