Buffet's wrong on that point. Why doesn't Buffet just invest more money, make more, and then voluntarily give it to the government if he wants the government to have more money? Buffett doesn't have any right to empower others to steal from people just because he thinks it should be done.
The problem isn't the amount of money this government has. This government has PLENTY of money. It just wastes it. You have to clean up the system first. Throwing money at the problem won't work.
