From what I gather, it seems that he has no problem with the rich (that would include him, I suspect) paying a higher percentage of taxes. He does not expect the rich to hand over their money directly to the poor. He just wants everyone to pay their fair share. I don't see anyhting wrong with that.
Why is it better to give your money to a bloated wasteful government to disperse as opposed to giving the money directly yourself? As individuals we give $300 billion annually. Just because we are not funnelling it through the government first does not mean we are not sharing our wealth. Individuals in the U.S. give more internationally than every other country (excluding the U.S.) combined gives. We give more than the U.S. government gives.
