Isn't he also known as the guy who said, "tax us, we have too much money"?


Yep.  Funny enough, i saw an article that suggested that 50% of the rich people he was talking about agreed with him.

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2011/09/half-wealthy-americans-agree-buffett-would-pay-higher-taxes/42145/

Yet they aren't donating money to the government.

I think it has to do with the "Common good" line... as in giving more money to government doesn't help the common good.  Heck, when asked why Buffet doesn't pay more in taxes his arguement was he could find more efficent uses to help people with his money.

That 50% is probably doing more with that money donating it then the government would do with double the money.

well, I doubt that, because charities are scams. Charities are just ways to make people feel good about themselves. What they really should do is combine their money and hire fifty thousand people to build a national railway.

Then when it's done forty five thousand people are out of jobs?

You can believe what you want, but even the staunchest liberal doesn't usually try and argue government is more efficent then charity.
