I’m a little tired of hearing Warren Buffet’s opinion of the tax code. Buffet’s dirty little secret is his ability to buy family owned companies that have to be sold to pay inheritance taxes. His insurance companies provide him with a steady cash flow for these acquit ions.

Plus the insurance companies shield him from capital gains taxes.

Plus Buffett probably takes his income as dividends and cap. gains and very little salary.

Is he suggesting that dividends and cap gains s/b taxed the same as salaries, which would include using the tax tables plus adding on social security and medicare taxes?

Anyone with a family owned business who doesn’t incorporate and steer their investments to reduce taxes is a damn fool and deserves whatever the IRS takes them for.

Before anyone jumps on my back, do some research about family limited partnerships.
