I was referring to the 3 billion Warren Buffett gave to his kids. http://money.cnn.com/2012/08/30/news/companies/buffett-donation/ http://money.cnn.com/2012/08

  Sure, I didn't know that he did that, but I can understand why. Warren's worth, what, $75 billion or some such? Warren gave $3 billion, only $3 billion? Ah, chump change!

    I get what you are saying. I just don't trust a word Buffet writes or says. He claims he isn't leaving any of his money to his kids, but he set each up with a billion dollar charity organization. I once read a very good article, wish I could find the link, that talks about Buffet and says that anytime Buffet says something you should wonder what's in it for him. That while he is claiming your best interest, his hand is reaching into your pocket to steal a dollar.

      You seem to be asking if Buffett is a really nice guy. In some ways, maybe not. My only point was that even if confiscate his money and pass it out among the poor people, the poor people will still be poor and not in the middle class -- even Buffett and the rest of the Forbes 400 don't have money enough to bring all the poor people into the middle class just by confiscation and redistribution. That's not the only possible point to make about inequality, but by itself it is correct.
