Hopefully he arrange stuff with his attorneys before hand and has his
assests locked up in trusts for his kids. The liberals of the world get
sick when they see someone successful and will want to try to play
Robin Hood.


Uh, right. I'm sure such estate-tax supporters as Warren Buffett, George
Soros, David Rockefeller Jr., and Bill Gates Sr. "get sick when they see
someone successful".

It's astonishing what bizarre stereotypes some people can convince
themselves are true (assuming you even care if what you say is true).

Buffett, in particular, praised "'the critical role' that he said the estate
tax played in promoting economic growth, by helping create a society in
which success is based on merit rather than inheritance" (NY Times
interview, Feb. 14, 2001). "Mr. Buffett said repealing the estate tax 'would
be a terrible mistake,' the equivalent of 'choosing the 2020 Olympic team
by picking the eldest sons of the gold-medal winners in the 2000 Olympics.'"
