Yes, but your insinuation that they did it out of some sort of anti-tax logic is a little off-base.
Like I said, Gates Sr. *supports* the estate tax, and from what he's said, his son does, too...so I don't really think they were thinking, "Yippee! No estate tax!" when they committed their lives and energy to fighting global poverty. Gates is quitting his company to work on improving global health. Don't hold him up as the poster-boy for fiscal conservatism, because he's not.
