Did not Buffet join up with Gates and testify before a congressional committee that it was OK for the gubmint to confiscate, through estate taxes, the $$$ that they earned ??
I was in the brokerage business for 25 years, and my contemporaries idolized Buffet. I told them they were nuts. I had his number from the get go. He is a puke.
Correct.
I believe you are right about that, except that the "Gates" in this case was the father of Microsoft founder Bill Gates. The LSM always referred to him as Bill Gates, Sr. or something like that; they seemed to be trying to get people to think that it was the more famous Gates, rather than his dad. It took some digging to find out the truth on that one, sometimes buried late in the article, sometimes not.
