Hey Warren! When are you going to pay the billion bucks in back taxes your company owes?

But the message appeared to have limited appeal to donors expected to pay $10,000 a plate; Those prospective donors must feel they have already paid their fair share!

Is this the same Warren who is fighting his tax bill in order to pay less, and ordering others to pay their “fair share”?

Perhaps this is a harbinger of future campaign events for a collapsing President.

Buffet supports the Bamtard?
I begrudge every second I spent paying attention to anything he had to say.

An Obama fund-raising insider said the campaign has been getting resistance from some Wall Street donors from 2008 over the proposal I can't imagine why that would be. How unexpected.
