Buffett and the Federal Estate Tax-Part II

To follow-up my November 15 post, the New York Times reported that "the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on November 19 announced the biggest education donation in a decade, $290 million, in support of three school districts and five charter school groups working to transform how teachers are evaluated and how they get tenure....The foundation's goal, its officials said, is to forge breakthroughs in how school systems recruit, retain and compensate teachers and how they assign them to schools. "It'll be difficult, once this work is finished, to say it can't happen in other places, because this work is going to provide some compelling arguments," said Vicki L. Phillips, an education director of the foundation."

Unlikely that, in the future, tax monies would be allocated to this important project.
