“Well, this helps explain Buffett’s huge donations to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. According to Francine McKenna, a CPA, the Gates Foundation is Warren Buffet’s personal tax laundromat. The donations for tax deductions reduce his future estate taxes. At the same time, the Foundation gets the donations on full market value basis. Thus, it can sell immediately with no tax, while Buffett gets the deductions. It should be noted that this maneuver is coming from a guy who regularly calls for ‘shared sacrifice’ and higher taxes on people earning more than $1 million.”
