Kansas John - I'll take your word for it for now. I've haven't done enough research to rebutt. I've heard other wealthy people say the same thing about taxes that you quote Buffet as having said.
             I guess I'm just suspicious when one person has so much control, while there is so much that needs to be done.

             I would wonder, though, when the Gates foundation goes into Africa to do something about the spread of aids, how do they keep the money from falling into the hands of despicable politicians, just like Cheney and Bush, when they try to cure the problems?
