What a load of crap.
Fair share would mean everyone with income pays tax. The Rats have bought votes by making vast numbers of “poor” immune from taxes. They have even gone so far as to give many refunds on taxes they did not pay.
There is no fairness in income taxation as it presently exists. Robin is a Rat shill spouting blather and drivel.
You are correct his annual salary is I believe ~ 500K he recieves his money in dividends. I'm surprized he isn't hit by the AMT.
Wealthy people do not have to live here. They can live anywhere in the world. It is typical of this dim-witted Democrat writer, who exhibits the usual class envy of the ink-stained wretch, that she doesn’t realize that it’s not smart to persecute the most productive citizens we have.
Warren Buffet should give away ALL his money, if he feels so guilty for being rich. But he should keep his mouth shut about how others should live.
Wasn’t Blumner also an attorney for the ACLU? I may be incorrect, but it runs in my mind that she was.
Assuming the Buffett stuff is true, the reason behind it is a decision by Congress to tax investment income at a lower rate than salary. As best I can determine, the American economy has been thriving as a result.
Just wait till this policy is changed and we return to the days of Jimmy Carter’s 20% interest rates. Then this lady will be writing columns about how Wall Street operators have no sympathy for how high interest rates are affecting secretaries.
If they value their money more than their country, then good riddance.
There's nothing stopping the phony from writing a check to the US Treasury for $15 or $20 million every year. If his conscience really, REALLY, bothered him that's what he'd do. Annnnnnd if he was so worried about paying his 'fair share' he wouldn't have willed all his BILLIONS to the Gates Foundation to avoid the Death Tax like he did.
He's full of 'it'.
Yeah, by the time Jimmah was done with us, the Yankee dollar was worth $.25.
We should have not tax except the “Fair Tax.”
The fair tax is a national sales tax.
Our economy would take off like a rocket with the fair tax.

16th Amendment
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States and without regard to any census or enumeration.
Oh, now I remeber, when the 16th Ammendment was passed, only the rich were expected to pay taxes.
Yep.

So she paid roughly $18,000 in taxes, he paid $8,142,000 and he’s complaining about it? How about giving her a raise ya cheap skate.
And they use percentages rather than absolute numbers to describe the actual amount paid in taxes. Plus there is this assumption that Buffet's secretary is an equal when it comes to running his business empire. What risks is she taking?
There is NO SUCH THING as “fair share” unless every tax payer were to pay the exact percentage as any other tax payer. I’m not wealthy, never have been wealthy, probably will never be wealthy and am not envious of the wealthy. I certainly don’t resent them. I will defend their right NOT to be burdened under our current Marxist system of graduated income tax rates.
