>I absolutely agree with Warren Buffet on this: he uses the legal loopholes while arguing against them. I think it's the most ethical position. At first, it may seem as hypocrisy, but in fact, it's absolutely understandable and logical.

Unless Buffett is giving away that money for good causes then he is a hypocrite. Actions carry far more weight than words.

AFAIK, he is giving lots of money away and lives relatively modestly. But even he didn't, I'm not convinced that it would imply hypocrisy.

None of that means he is giving away as much as took in tax loopholes. I haven't read any official news story that Buffett is doing this. It's also quite possible he's doing so without publicly acknowledging it. However, I doubt it because he's rarely weary of giving a statement or interview even in his advanced age.
