to this issue...while he (Gates) has his own views that fill in 'gaps' in Piketty's recommendation on taxation, he definitely agrees that government needs to step in to help correct the obvious imbalances in income and wealth...the challenge is finding the right actions...but 'the 'status quo' is definitely not one of them.
btw, have you read Piketty's book?...as Gates and I have?
