Amen! Buffett can just stroke a check to Government right now instead of waiting for his heirs to do the right thing.
If he genuinely feels that more of his [wealth] should be used by the government he can just write a check to the treasury.

Instead, Buffet hectors the rest of us about not paying enough in taxes. What Buffett is really complaining about is not his own tax bill but the tax bills of other people. And not necessarily the tax bill of billionaires.... It’s a dirty little secret that government at all levels goes to where the real money is: the middle class.
... What is it that a person with $10 billion can’t afford that a person with $40 billion can? That’s in worthwhile question that Warren Buffett may be able to answer for us.
But until then, I’m not taking the bellyaching of a billionaire who does not put his money where his mouth is. Let’s see Buffett stroke that check to the Government. He has the address.
So, are you saying that Warren is envying OUR money?
That might explain why he is such a hero to the class envy and resentment fomented by the mainstream media.
It’s not that they don’t want anybody falling behind; it’s that they don’t want anybody else getting ahead of themselves.
Warren lives in Omaha, Nebraska. We had a quarter of a billion dollar bond issue before the public to fix the older schools. Of course, the bond issue included glass facades and circle drives and a lot of other fluff that could have been cut. So some lone dissenters (yeah.. me included) were passing out single sheets of paper asking for the alternative plan.
So Warren spends $56,000 on the bond issue.
Did he give it the schools for repairs?
He gave it to the school district to print glossy flyers for mailing and yard signs that said, ‘Vote Yes .. For the Kids’
The sad thing is it works over and over and over.. cuz they are so dumbed down!
