Buffet made his billions by paying as little tax as possible, now he wants to close the door behind himself.

Andrew Carnegie was the same. He earned his money during a time when there was no income taxes. But, after he made his bundle, he testified before Congress in support of the Income Tax. Typical Liberal.

At least Carnegie donated a lot of his money to charity (Carnegie libraries, etc.). Maybe at least Buffett could donate his estate to the US Treasury...

Those charities were the method used to maintain their wealth and avoid income tax.
