Lame is right.

The article didn't "call out" anyone. It kissed the ass of those who haven't signed up yet because they are too busy with their own foundations.

I like the Walton's approach: "No I'm not giving my money away. No I'm not telling you why."

They should just be taxed a real 50%.

Then you wouldn't mind being taxed at that rate either?

Exactly. When someone goes broke you don't yell at them for not earning enough to cover their expenses.

Fuck that. Its their money they should do what they want with it. They are billionaires. If they are succumbing to peer pressure they are little bitches anyway.

On the tax issue, starting next year it is unlikely that a billionaire will have an estate tax under 50% of their gross assets. This year there is no estate tax so Steinbrenner chose the right time to die for passing his wealth to his family.
