Don’t forget that Buffett refuses to give his charity money to the Government to redistribute, because he states absolutely that the private charities are more efficient and more effective.

Mr. Buffett’s answer to a reporter, in 2007, according to the Wall Street Journal http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903918104576504650932556900.html?mod=WSJ_hp_mostpop_read : “Well, that’s a choice and it’s an option . . . If I had to give it to a single individual, or make some young Buffett a multibillionaire, or give it to the government, I’d absolutely give it to the government. I think that on balance the Gates Foundation, my daughter’s foundation, my two sons’ foundations will do a better job with lower administrative costs and better selection of beneficiaries than the government.”
