If that leftist freak Buffet really wants to pay more of his money to the US Treasury, NOTHING AT ALL stops him from writing a check and dropping it in the mail.

Berkshire Hathaway, the eighth-largest public company in the world according to Forbes, openly admits to still owing taxes for years 2002 through 2004 and 2005 through 2009, according to the New York Post. The company says it expects to "resolve all adjustments proposed by the US Internal Revenue Service" within the next year.

From presidential primary debate on 4/16/08:

Charles Gibson: "...And in each instance, when the rate dropped, revenues from the tax increased. The government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28%, the revenues went down. So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected"?

Obama: "Well. Charlie, what I've said is that I would look at raising the capital gain tax for purposes of fairness".
