Bill Gates' Father
It never ceases to amaze me that the father of the world's richest person would endorse the Communist plank of wealth redistribution. This isn't the first time Bill Gates, Sr. has publicly gone on the offensive to defend the concept of the estate (aka death & inheritance) tax. He's now trying to rally opposition to those of us who want to see the estate tax eliminated forever.
As I have explained several times, his argument that removing or reducing taxes causes less charitable donations is pure bunk.
