My advice to the old fart. If you do not think you pay enough taxes then cut Uncle Sam a check and be done with it. The Feds will be more than happy to accept any amount you wish to give. Stop laying your pretend guilt trip on the rest of us.

Out of touch much? Buffett said he would donate $1 to paying down the national debt for every dollar donated by a Republican in Congress. The only exception is Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell - for whom Buffett said he would go $3-to-$1. Virginia Congressman Scott Rigell has actually taken him up on it.
Then this week, "Speaking to a reporter with Bloomberg TV on Monday, billionaire investor Warren Buffett upped his challenge to congressional Republicans and even managed to work in a slap at presidential candidate Mitt Romney, saying that he would donate 15 percent of his annual income if just 10 percent of the Congress would do the same."

12. Warren Buffet once punched a bear so hard it landed in his bedroom as a rug.
"Encourage your children to punch bears. It really builds character."

Why does he need anyone or any incentive to do what he believes is right? Just give Uncle Sam the money and STFU already. A good deed is its own reward. Stop looking for PR or a pat on the back. BTW I might ask you the same thing, get out much? Check Buffetts history or how he made his money. You may not like what you will find.
