Buffets new challenge

[OldGaffer]

His “Buffett Rule” sparked some backlash, especially from Republicans, who suggested that Buffett should cut the U.S. government a check if he’s so eager to pay his fair share of the nation’s debts. Well, Buffett tells TIME magazine that he’s willing to do just that. He’s willing to match one-for-one any donation by a Republican member of Congress — except for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, he gets three for one.



I bet he gets zero takers on this.

In a 2007 CNBC interview, when asked why he shelters his money through tax-free strategies rather than writing big checks to Uncle Sam, Mr. Buffett responded: "I think that on balance the Gates Foundation, my daughter's foundation, my two sons' foundations will do a better job with lower administrative costs and better selection of beneficiaries than the government."
