I have read that one of Warren B’s companies makes its money by loaning people money to pay inheritance taxes on family businesses. In some cases he buys them instead. If you want to buy a business at pennies on the dollar you need to find someone between a rock and a hard spot.

Maybe buffet claims his secretary as a dependent. Then she would have to pay a higher rate because she would not be entitled to a standard deduction. I believe that the net tax she paid would then still be below 30%, even when Reagan was in office.

What we really need is a tax on crony capitalism.

Here is the secret of the rich-all the money is put in their charitable foundations and the foundations buy what they need and they just use it never needing money for anything.

Thanks Stu, but why do you use these facts when this story is based on fiction? These people have no idea that we are NOT as dumb as they think we are. WHY is Warren B. involved in ANY way with what the government does? Is he a policy advisor?

The first thing people have to realize is: Buffet is an F’ing
liar. He does not pay a lower percentage
of income tax than his secretary. What
he was referring to was; taxes he pays on one particular form of his income
which accounts for less than 1% of his total income. He pays a much higher rate on over 99% of his
income than his secretary.

Buffet is a liar!

But the real issue we are dealing with is not “too little
income going to the government.”
The problem is: too much government spending.
Increasing taxes is like rewarding the bureaucrats for their fanatical
spending habits and telling them they have been doing a good job. This is insane! Government spending needs to be slashed.
The national debt needs to be slashed.
Taxes and regulations need to be dramatically reduces.

More spending and more debt will not solve our problem of
too much spending and too much debt, but both Bush and Obama adopted this
crazy policy.

The real liar in this country is the liar-in-chief himself.
Obumbler can not run on his failed record so he wages a phony campaign of class warfare, class envy, anti-business rhetoric, anti-religion, race war, supposed war on women by conservatives, war on big oil, guns, voter ID laws, immigration common sense policies, the constitution – let’s see what did I leave out?
You must be a progressive whiner if you believe this administrations BS and think Glenn is the problem.

Even if the Buffet rule is passed. Warren Buffet would not pay anymore taxes.

Warren Buffet does not pay an increase in dividend tax because his company does not pay dividends to its stockholders.

Warren Buffet does not pay capital gains either because he does not sell any Stock.

He is now giving away his stock to a charity that is set up by him. He has never paid any taxes on that money, so he is giving away part of our money.

Pipeline is being block by him, because he owns railroads and he wants the oil to be transported by his railroad.
