Pretty much. For all the lip service Buffet and Gates give to the pro tax side those two are so sheltered from paying any sum that would hurt them fiscally, they will trade off a few mil. here or there and then kick a little to charity while hiding behind cap gains and telling everyone else they feel guilty about paying "too low a rate". All the while they say this they are politically protected from exactly what they advocate because they have enough money and influence to pretty much buy whatever outcomes they want.
Ever heard the story about the Kennedy trust and FIJI?
