“Agree. If Buffett and his bud Gates want to pay more taxes all they have to do is sit down and write a check. What makes them think they have the right to speak for the rest of us? Typical liberals, want to manage everybody’s lives...”
Typical big mouthed Rat he needs to pay up!
“We can shut up these guys real quick, by assessing anyone who has over a billion Dollars in world wide assests 10% of thier undepreciated personal net worth.”
This guy seems to be asking for it!
Anyone that listens to this fabian screw deserves whatever they get.PHuck him.
Makes me wonder why he pushes this? It can’t be for helping the down trodden middle-class because he would simply lower costs on all things available which he sells from his stores.
His assets grow and grow without his paying one penny of income tax.
Self-serving, lying SOB.
Exactly...this is nothing more then a way for the super rich to remove some of their competition while looking like they are for the “little guy”. They are free to pay more in taxes at anytime they want...the fact that they don’t is telling.
Does Buffet actually have any earned income, or is it all capital gains and interest/dividend income?
When a small business owner pays taxes, it’s often as earned income, isn’t it?
BTW, the last time I checked, there was no law against Buffet, or any other rich statist, from writing large checks in excess of his tax bill to the US treasury.

Eggsactly!
The top 400 wealthiest folk in the US has a net worth of nearly $1.5T. That wouldn’t cover Obama’s deficit for last year.
This is about limiting entry for the competition.
Why? So that Washington politicians can slap me with mandates, funnel money to their cronies, bailout their backers, and find new ways to fondle me in public?
I think Buffet misunderstands. I don’t care how much money he has, if he spends his billions on living luxuriously - at worst he neither harms nor helps me. Contrariwise, heaven help me should I fall into the clutches of a well funded bureaucrat.
Send this info to the clueless interviewer. Why do these people always act as if everything Buffet and Gates say is golden wisdom? Even the folks on Fox Business fawn over these two. Gag.
