Buffett said inheritance taxes preserve a measure of meritocracy, and with it opportunity, by recycling portions of great wealth through public coffers.

But asshat himself has his money going into trusts for "philanthropic" organizations run by (and paying salary to) his family.

He's also thrown a huge chunk of cash to his felllow pauper Bill Gates's for Bill and his lovely bride to disperse.

These moves effectively eliminate the possibility that any of his money will be recycled through "public coffers" after he lays down for his impending dirt nap.
