Hey, why not start a grassroots campaign demanding that, since Warren Buffett is such an advocate in support of the estate tax, he should donate 55% of his wealth to the government before sending on the proceeds to the various tax-exempt foundations run by Bill & Melinda Gates and Warren's children. At the least, that would be the intellectually honest thing for these socialists to do.

Heck, I'm still waiting for Warren to apologize for training the 9/11 hijackers in his flight schools! Still havn't seen that happen.

Methinks Warren gave his required contribution to the gub'mint on April 15th.
Calling this planet's second most successful capitalist a "socialist" is just plain silly.
Like the world's most successful capitalist, Bill Gates, Buffet is a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. That is a long way from being a "socialist."
George W, Bush is also a social liberal or else he wouldn't have signed the biggest extension of Medicare in history, the prescription drug benefit into law. Bush is no socialist but he has advanced the cause of government funded(socialized?) medicine.
