Hey Warren, why don’t you just shut the heck up and write a check to the government. It’s a novel thought called putting your money where your loud mouth is.
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.
