If Warren Buffet truly cared for the poor, he could do more for them by giving to or founding charities then he would by paying higher taxes ( assuming he actually planned to pay higher taxes ).
Here is what I think. No one, from any tax bracket in the USA, should pay taxes. Not one person. Everybody, for the good of our country, should stop paying their taxes all at once until government spending is brought under control, and the deficit is reduced.
This is why I'm against all taxes that are not flat. Giving government the ability to boost one form of income as "good" and another form as "evil", and tax accordingly is the route to evil. Take that power away. Flat tax/Fair tax now!
@GamerFromJump In Europe we have a "beautiful" flat tax called VAT, which is raised by 1 or 2 points during each recession/budget crisis. In fact, acording to Eurostat, in this "socialist paradise" taxes on consumption are the first source of revenue. Taxes on capital only make up 1/6 of total revenue, and our rich people pay 30% of all taxes (vs. 45% in USA).
Good one guys, I didn't know about the Rail Tanker thing with the Oil. Sounds like a real inside deal to me, the kind of deal that sends people to federal prison.

Flat tax. No one should be voting that doesn't have skin in the game. That was specifically the view of our founders though they handled it through another means.
Isnt it ironic that buffet pretends to be upset because his secretary pays more in taxes them him, yet i'm sure he refuses to show that sympathy by paying the lowest of his staff more thereby making less profit. He's a piece of trash
Lets not forget that good old folksy uncle Warren made some of his best investments on the back of the estate tax.
An explanation: For family run companies, the death of the founder typically results in an enormous tax bill for his/her heirs. This is where good old uncle Warren comes in. He takes a minority stake in said well run company for an amount sufficient to pay the tax bill. Needless to say this is an investment that wouldn't be available to him if the heirs didn't have to sell.

Also, there is no need for a law against insider trading by gov't, because it's already illegal for EVERYONE! Prosecute Congress now!

Who else here had a vivid mental image of that?
