FDIC premiums have been far too low considering the risks, so the FDIC is underfunded as it is.

For example, Berkshire Hathaway pays a zero dividend rate no matter how much excess cash it has so he doesn't get double-taxed. Then he donates stock at current value, instead of his cost, in order to reduce his tax. It is a huge subsidy that helps only the rich. Why doesn't he sell the stock, pay the capital gains tax, and donate the excess if he wants to pay more?

You’re conflating several different things.

Buffett believes (and has demonstrated) that stock buybacks benefit the shareholders more than dividend payouts. He’s consistently against dividends, even among stocks he holds. You can look up his rationale.

Buffett has said many times that he will take advantage of the laws available to him. What do you care about his donation methodology?
