Hey Warren buddy - there’s not one (bleep) thing stopping you from cutting a check for any amount you want payable to the US Treasury if you think you’re not paying enough. Do it already, and STFU.

Warren, write one single check and donate your entire worth to the US treasury and take up a job as a Wal*Mart greeter. Then we will believe you.

"and I hope the American public is catching on," Buffett explained.

We've caught on to the fact that the super rich hide their wealth in impenetrable tax shelters while at the same time time calling for big tax hikes on their less wealthy competition a long time ago, Warren.

No conservative should do one dime’s worth of business with pro-abort Warren Buffett. Boycott GEICO, Fruit of the Loom, Kirby vacuum cleaners, Nebraska Furniture Mart, and any thing else he has a creep hands into.

Art Laffer already called this fool out several months ago. Buffet has the VAST majority of his wealth in tax exempt vehicles. I wish someone would call him out on it openly - if he’s so hip on paying taxes, why does he have all his money where it can’t be taxed?

He should speak only for himself. If he wants to pay more, then PAY MORE. Leave everyone else alone.

Show us what a real man and patriot you are Warren and give it all away NOW . . not when you and Billy G. are 6 feet under.

Your “patriotism” and “generosity” is as phony as it gets. Go ahead and let the lapdog media try to tell the rest of us what great guys you meg-rich bastards are. We see right thru your greedy childish selves.

Who cares what that fake capitalist obama loving welfare queen buffet says..

Buffett’s Betrayal

http://blogs.reuters.com/rolfe-winkler/2009/08/04/buffetts-betrayal/

Pigs like him get your tax dollars through bailouts then put their money in trusts.

Let him write a check and give all his money to the government if he wants but he has a lot of nerve suggesting that others should have to.

Buffet can voluntarily pay higher taxes if he likes. Why is government force required for these altruists?

Buffet is engaging in deliberate deception. At the very top of income earners, much income is derived from capital gains, dividends, and municipal bond interest. Buffet is in this group with reasonable tax rates because their financial position can withstand market swings. However, most below this mighty threshold are subject to marginal rates on earned income including unlimited Medicare taxes. Obamacare has new taxes for almost everyone in the upper group including Buffet. He has already been granted his wish.

Marginal tax rates on earned income are too high now. The rates should not be increased. Tax welfare should be substantially reduced to make the tax freeloaders contribute.

Did ditzy interviewer point out to Buffet that confiscating his entire net worth would run the government for about half a day?

I thought not.

people like myself -- should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it."...

Well, Warren, you know where your checkbook is. Put your money where your mouth is and scratch off a few billion in a special donation to the US Government--for unrestricted use.

I await breathlessly to hear the good news of your philanthropic integrity.
