I'm sure this will probably go nowhere, but the statement ought to be made. Until there are 150 votes, the petition will be hidden from public view, so you can access it here: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/institute-99-tax-all-individuals-whose-net-worth-above-40-billion/fkCPjz2k or, in short form, http://wh.gov/XkCk.

I read once that if the Keystone pipeline doesn’t go through that they will put the oil in barrels and ship via Buffet’s trains.

I imagine he's had a few Buffett sized loop holes built in to the tax code over the years, along with obamacare waivers where necessary, so I doubt things like what obama wants to do will touch him.

He might even end up cornering a new market or two thanks to his political advantages, regardless of which side wins. Best government money can buy?

The dirty little secret is that if the so-called Buffet rule were enacted it would have little to no impact on the amount of money that Buffet would pay in taxes.

The most recent financials that I could find shows that Buffet was paid a salary of just $100,000(his usual base pay) and director fees of $75,000. Hence his income is less than $200,000, and the Buffet rule would not increase the amount he pays.

If they really want to get money from the Rich they should Tax the net worth of the individual, and tax their freakin’ foundations.

Hey Warren, I just did my healthcare selections for next year. Thanks to obamacare my costs are up about $500 over last year. Want to help redistribute the wealth directly Warren? Send me a few hundred.

What about all those companies, governments, unions and people that have been granted waviers? Do they have to pay the ObamaCare taxes?

I doubt Buffet pays top rate. When you own companies you can shift your expenses nicely on to the corporate expenses, so at a stroke reducing your net income and the company’s net income (thereby reducing taxes) yet living at the same quality of life...
