If he really cared, he would have fought for higher tax laws earlier in his life.
I don't understand this kind of reasoning. He's arguing against his own self-interest now. I think it's hard to say he doesn't care. Maybe he didn't come to feel that he unfairly benefitted until he was older. It's not like he's saying we should tax young people more now that I'm old.
The point is that he's 81 now. He doesn't have many more years to spend his millions (or billions). A few more percentage points in taxes isn't really going to matter to him.
