I honestly can't fathom that anyone would actually believe Gates and Buffet are being motivated by self-interest. Gates is possibly the most generous benefactor EVER of global health problems. His dad is a major proponent of KEEPING the estate tax (I've talked to him one-on-one a few times, so I know, but he's made very public statements in support of the estate tax).
