No actually you didn't, as
that question was quite obviously "tongue in cheek"/rhetorical.
A TAX is taken against your will and goes to the federal government (a non profit that provides a service to society) or state/local but in this case estate tax is federal.
A CHARITY is money given of your own volition to a (non profit that provides a service to society)
Warren Buffet gives 1.8 MILLION to the government and gives 2.8 BILLION (not 3.8) which is only 4.3% of his 65 BILLION dollar fortune (not 99%)

The point is that if we are/were to emulate his actions charities are ~2000 times more worthy of our money than the federal government. You can't give to said charities if the government is taking 75% of your assets upon death.
So again... if he truly felt that the government was the best place to "Redistribute the wealth and let it fall into more able hands." @
Hubcap then he would be donating a pittance of 1.8 MILLION to charity, and letting the Federal Government have 2.8 BILLION. He quite clearly doesn't do that so we have to question why... or you should, and perhaps question whether the statement "Warren Buffet is for this idea." is even truthful.
Just because you don't understand something... doesn't make it shit posting.
