Buffett's hypocrisy

[Biggsly]

I support a flat tax.

This. A flat tax or fair tax.
The problem with the flat/fair tax is that it take power away from politcians.
Trust me, the Dems would love a vat tax. It would just be one more tax that they could pile on top of the others. Of coarse, special exemptions would be made for their big backers.

And for every dollar in increased funds the government takes in, you can expect at least 2 dollars in increased spending.

Some of you are just flat out jealous that others make more money. Get a grip. and work harder and maybe, just maybe, you won't be so jealous.

Funny. Berkshire Hathaway is a capitalist investment corporation like any other. Yes, they employ tax lawyers, just like all of their competitores.
I don't remember when Warren Buffet claimed that he was ready to go about in sackcloth and ashes to heal the sick and save the poor.
He lives in a world in which "the blind don't see, the lame don't walk, and what's dead stays that way."

George (Soros) isn't that how you got started plundering your fellow Jews in benefit to yourself and Adolf? Just a thought.

The point is, he should not be preaching about needing higher taxes on anybody when his companies taxes are not up to date.

Companies and people are not the same thing.

Companies have more rights...

Just like T Boone..Cant stand him. My T boone problem is he always has an answer and oh by the way he happens to be building or already owns a way to solve the problem...example wind farms..."Lets save money lets do wind farms people...oh BTW Im going to be building the wind farms" When oil went up he said we would never see gas below a certain figure...cant remember but like $2.50. It went below that for almost a year after he said that. Why would a oil guy "want" gas to go down??? He wouldnt hes an OIL guy. Not theres anything wrong with that...Just pisses me off these rich people ACT like they want the best deal for us poor people and in the end they are the ones making all the money off of the over inflated prices. Why the hell are we paying over $3.00 for gas when oil is under $90 a barrel...Because we will and the oil gas companies have found out the USA gas price limit is around $4.00 so why go lower...way off subject but same greedy rich people acting like they are trying to save the world. I like Donald Trumps take.. Hes rich everyones knows it and he want to get richer..bottom line no save the world BS.
