Well, Warren, there is nothing keeping you from not taking deductions, firing your attorneys, and just donating more money to the government.
No reporter ever asked him that question...release his returns since he wants to make a huge political issue of it so we could see why he was supposedly paying so little. Likely because he wasn’t even being paid a salary so therefore was not subject to the payroll and income taxes, therefore making his argument false.
Buffett can donate whatever he wants if he so chooses. It’s really quite simple:
Gifts to the United States
U.S. Department of the Treasury
Credit Accounting Branch
3700 East-West Highway, Room 622D
Hyattsville, MD 20782
Mr. Buffett, please make the check out to the United States Treasury, and be generous. It’s only fair!
