After President Obama suggested that “The Buffet Rule” should be in place for wealthy Americans, Bill Gates was interviewed on BBC concerning this issue.

What he had to say about the topic of raising taxes is something the 99% would like to hear.

When one of the world’s richest people has no problem with giving away more money via taxes, it makes you wonder why the laws aren’t reflecting that attitude. It’s a fact that Gates gives nearly $1 Billion in charity contributions every year.

And just like Buffet, Gates plans to give away a giant chunk of his wealth back- 90% when he dies. Suck on that Steve Jobs!
