You have a nice site, by the way.As for your last question, "How exactly is that any different than saying that you know better than Mr. Buffett?":It's not different - I am implicitly saying that I know better than Buffett. However, what I'm not saying is that I should have the power to do what I think is right with Buffett's wealth. And that is a big difference.Buffett, on the other hand, by supporting the estate tax is implicitly saying that not only does he know what's best, but that everyone should be forced to do what he thinks is best (It's opinion <em>and</em> action).
