This whole thing confuses me. I realize people wish very dearly to believe strange things, since only ordinary people are tied down by the mundane truth. But does anyone really, deep down, in their heart of hearts, believe Buffet pays less in taxes (the taxes he actually pays, that is) than his secretary? Or, if he did, that his secretary was scandalously overpaid? Is anyone buying this, including Obama? Or is it all a big joke at my expense?
You have no idea how fortunate you are that Ubama agreed to be your ruler.
He won, and you need to show some respect or something bad could happen to you.
Warren, you stupid slut.
Let's ask the question another way, if I'm to take a risk investing money, shouldn't I get a higher return than someone who takes no risk? What's my incentive to invest if Husein just comes along and takes 1/3 of what I make? At the same time if a stock goes south on me, why is it I can only write off $3000.00/yr on the loss?
When Husein first proposed this using Buffett and his secretary as the example, my first question was, "Well then why don't we lower the secretary's tax rate to 15%?". Then again, maybe in the world of liberalism I have things all backwards.
