FWIW, it's interesting to me that no one commented on how Buffet makes money from the estate tax via his insurance biz. He sells a line of products that only make sense if the estate tax exists.

In most cases, folks would say "look what we found when we followed the money". Why is Buffet and the estate tax different?
