Jimmy Buffett hasn't a clue, as to what the estate tax means to working families, who inherit their families farms, homes, or capital.

Amen.

Billionaire Warren Buffett on Monday called for U.S. lawmakers to retain the estate tax, after announcing plans to leave more than $37 billion of his own fortune to charity, not his children.

And, guess what folks? That $37 billion monument to his personal vanity will not be subject to estate taxes! Working families are paying estate taxes so that the mega-rich such as Warren Buffett can erect $37 billion monuments to their egos ESTATE TAX FREE.

you know..I don't care what Warren Buffett does with his money, I just wish he would stay the hell out of what I want to do with my money.

And if done properly, aren't such donations also deductible against income tax?
