Your sites dont give you the whole story. You need to have more weapons in your arsenal if you wish to argue intelligently. Those crappy biased political sites are exactly that, political sites. They do not attempt to reveal truths. Keep searching for things that fit your worldview and throw out the rest, and you will continue to handicap your ability to learn because you dont have all sides of an issue. Its up to you, old or young. If you cannot be flexible mentally, you are a great disadvantage into today's world. Good luck.

You can blather all you want ... and indeed you do ...

... but the unmistakable fact is that neither Gates nor Buffet will be paying any estate taxes to the government ... all those billions of dollars have been sheltered from the government's reach.

None of us know their real motivations ... but it makes no difference .. . no matter what their motivations are ... that doesn't alter the fact that they have indeed sheltered their money from the taxman's reach.
