Despite Unfair Tax Burden, Warren Buffett's Secretary Was Able To Buy a Second Home

Buffet doesn't pay income tax. He pays capitol gains on investments. Whole different story.

For those interested, seems like a lot of creative accounting going on to get her to a higher rate then Buffett.

Everyone pay the same %. It's simple and fair. Wonder why this hasn't happened yet.

Politicians control the citizens with promises of special tax breaks and handouts. Why would anyone in their right minds give that power up?

Step 1: As a gazillionaire, claim you aren't taxed enough.
Step 2: Lie to get taxes raised on yourself
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!

Buffett is such a putz, he's going to ruin America with his "Tax me" pro-welfare rhetoric. Clearly he is taking money from the welfare lobby and OWS putzes. Obama is just pandering to the billionaire welfare lobby to get votes for his pro-welfare socialist billionaire OWS Soros campaign.
