It’s about time some of the big businesspeople in this country speak up; the small, independent businesses have been doing all the work for far too long.

Why doesn’t Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and all the Liberal Millionaires and Billionaires and the Hollywood Crowd (like Babs Streisand, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg, Jerry Springer and Matt Damon) just write out some big checks and send them to Washington D.C. to pay down the deficit and help the U.S. Economy. What’s stopping them?

His argument was persuasive--because raising taxes on billionaires won't hurt the economy.

Horse manure.
ANYTIME money leaves private hands and ends up in government hands it hurts the economy.

I am not for raising taxes on anyone, but it seems to be a big talking point for Obama’s 2012 run.

I almost think that the Republicans should cut him off here and now, say they will agree to a nominal tax increase on everyone (make the 50% that don't pay pay something; you take an interest in spending when you feel it's your money) and then say we will agree to this as long as we get a balanced budget amendment, 10% across the board spending cuts, and no more debt ceiling increases. Any increased revenue goes to pay the debt, period, until things get under control. Close loopholes, get rid of Obamacare and replace it with sensible healthcare solutions like being able to purchase insurance over state lines, etc. And cut the bull!

It would not surprise me if Warren Buffett is so detached from the economic workings of his empire, that he does not know much any more of what it takes to earn a dollar. He has little worker bees running the numbers and making sure his stock holdings are giving him the biggest bang for the buck. Buffet’s life is more concerned about his social life where he can mingle with the liberal cocktail party crowd and learn their talking points well enough to be loved by the beautiful people.

Warren Buffett, what a sell out to the capitalist foundation of a free nation.

Dear Mr. Buffett,

Do you Itemize? Do all your Democrat buddies Itemize?

If you don't, good for you. If you do, STFU.

Sincerely,

KC

billionaires can certain create jobs. the same way government can create jobs, but inefficient wasteful jobs though that don’t last and are temporary because any job given to someone must turn a profit or resources are wasted

They’re such hypocrites. Buffet gave billions to Gates “charity” in order to ESCAPE paying taxes. They’re on the stump for Obama.

Fuller disclosure on Citizen Buffet is in order. Much of his wealth derives from the life insurance business. As life insurance has been a useful vehicle for the wealthy to shelter against high estate and income taxes, there is an incentive for insurance companies to keep taxes high in order to sell more insurance to the wealthy.

Mr Buffet,

You are rumored to be worth $47 billion. Put your money where your mouth is, write a check for $46 billion to the US Government.

Your check will fund the US Government for about 5 days.

We don't have a taxing problem, we have a spending problem.
