You are making these gentlemen sound like all they are trying to do is keep money away from the US government... That this is their sole purpose. That is bogus.
Again you give out a fact and then dont go any further. You just stop and dont dig any deeper. Very much like your websites. It is really sad that people like you dig deep enough just to skew the real issues and satisfy your beliefs that would never change, even if the evidence changes. Its your choice. Stay handicapped. Borders on zealotry. Very sad indeed.

I made it quite clear that I don't know what motivates Gates and Buffet ... nor does it matter.
The only point I made is that they've taken actions which prevent the government from confiscating their wealth.
I applaud those actions ... but I'd prefer that death taxes be eliminated ... because ...
...if death taxes didn't exist AND Gates and Buffert did the same things with their money ... then we'd know for sure what their motivations were. But the existence of the death tax puts a cloud over all foundations ... and that's a darn shame.
