The argument is usually that you personally making the change isn't significant. Even $2B from Buffet isn't significant on a "US government" level. So making that change would "hurt" Buffet a lot for not much gain.

Changing the law, on the other hand, is significant, because it impacts every millionaire/billionaire.

No, this is bullshit. “Hurt” Buffet? Hurt him how? Wouldn’t the higher tax rate “hurt” home too.

This is just a bullshit billionaire who won’t do what he’s asking others to do.
