Warren Buffett, Patriot

We're hearing a lot about Mr. Buffett and his call for increased taxation on himself and other wealthy individuals. After some thought, I've formulated my response to this seemingly unselfish gesture-
If I were 85 years old and had stock in Berkshire Hathaway worth $37 Billion, I would also ask to be taxed more.

Could you check back with me then when I reach those two checkpoints?
To be honest, Buffett's comments don't impress me nearly as much as Mr.R.G. LeTourneau, another extremely rich man down in East Texas who tithes 90% of his income. Now that's playing it forward! What do you think? Bill
