He gives to gun control as well.....and supports pro-tax groups such as groups that fought to roll back Washington state's income tax and he and his father's view on abolishing the federal death tax are well known.

Easy for them to say. Tax 55% of a 40 billion dollar estate and the heirs still get a paltry 18 billion to barely get by on...lol

Folks like me with more modest estates simply hope to leave enough to help with first homes purchases, medical care, and education of our children and grandchildren and that huge already taxed chunk the Feds take is punitive to us.

Gates is wily but a hypocrite or perhaps simply an elitist.
