I am not to sure how to the left Gates and Buffett actually are, but they are really good examples of ultra rich with the perspective of the upper middle classes. Unlike the hereditary ultra rich, they are self-made men who grew up in upper middle class families. The fact that they want to give away their wealth rather than pass it on to their children is a sign they recognise the morally corrosive nature of inherited wealth.
If I were asked I would be keen to lower taxes on incomes and raise taxes on inheritances. We really don’t need a self-perpetuating parasitic overclass.
