If Buffett wants to give more to the government, he can. Nothing is stopping him. He keeps saying how he pays a lower percentage than his secretary. If he didn't hire tax lawyers to get all the loop holes he would be paying a higher percentage. Why doesn't he just pay the standard percentage??? He also gives millions to the Bill Gates foundation. Why doesn't he give this money to the government?? Now that he has made his fortune in a capitalistic country he wants to make it socialists. I get tired of hearing him whine.
