But Warren Buffet Likes the Estate Tax

The Right loves rich people. Maybe that began with the Puritans and Calvin's belief that God showered wealth upon his chosen elect as a sign of His favor. The Right especially love super rich people like Warren Buffet, a man who for decades has remained one of the wealthiest men in the world. Sites like Newsmax hawk his books on investing more than the Bible.
