Warren Buffet, and admirable man, said the following:
"Dynastic wealth, the enemy of a meritocracy, is on the rise. Equality of opportunity has been on the decline. A progressive and meaningful estate tax is needed to curb the movement of a democracy toward a plutocracy."
Excerpt from the article:
"Buffett also proposed higher taxes on the wealthy in order to give working people a break on their payroll taxes, which now cost three Americans in four more than they pay in income taxes. And he supports taxing hedge fund bonuses at the same rate as ordinary income, so that billionaire hedge fund managers don't pay taxes at a lower rate than the people who clean their offices."

Now, how can I reach him? I could use some of his philanthropy as I am about as wealthy as the proverbial church mouse and cannot paint nor sculpt as my appartment is far too small and crowded, and I need a proper studio and equipment...
