Buffett calls for retention of estate tax - Yahoo! News - Warren Buffet is the second richest man on the planet. (Bill Gates is the first.) He suprised a lot of people when he decided to donate $30 Billion of his $44 Billion fortune to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He will be donating another $6.4 Billion to other foundations on behalf of his late wife and their children.
I am certain that if there is a heaven, this man will definately be there because of his philanthropy and his benevelont spirit. If only we had some people in Congress and the Senate that could be as pure in heart and spirit as this man. What a different world we'd be living in right now.
Buffet spoke about Congress retaining the estate tax. I, personally have never seen a person so rich be so generous. Not only that, Buffet made this profound statement about the estate tax:
"It's a very equitable tax," Buffett said. "It's in keeping with the idea of equality of opportunity in this country, not giving incredible head starts to certain people who were very selective about the womb from which they emerged." More here>>> And here>>>
