Thomas Jefferson:
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”

It’s ironic that Buffet, a big supporter of Obammie the Commie, who wants to punish those who give to charity, gives so much charity to the Gates foundation.
Hey, Warren. If you really want to pay higher taxes, just write a check, for the full amount that you give to the Gates foundation. After all, the government can spend that money a whole lot better than the civilians, right?

If Buffie is so desperate to pay higher taxes..why doesn’t he just write a check.

If I had Warren Buffett right in front of me, I'd ask the following question:
What do you consider rich? Just how much money do you need to have/make to fit Warren Buffett's definition of rich. We can all agree Buffett qualifies, but when you get south of Buffett just where does "rich" start?
I've done this to liberals who spout the same nonsense as Buffett and I get either no answer at all (they haven't thought about it?) or I get wildly different levels that people consider rich.
If we are gonna tax the rich then someone needs to define just what constitutes the rich.
I think many of the dogooder liberals would be astounded at just how low you would have to lower the threshold of "rich" to really get an amount substantial to reduce the budget deficit or the national debt.

If he’s afraid they’ll just waste it instead of paying down debt, he could buy $5 billion in Treasury bills, haul them in a big truck to College Station, Texas and throw them in the Aggies’ big bonfire!
Which makes me think, maybe a bunch of folks could by a few T-bills, make a big ceremony of burning them and invite Buffett to step up to the plate.

The Democrats are right we need a new tax bracket for the likes of Buffet, Siros, Gates and a few others. Nobody needs more than $100 million.

Warren, it’s the spending, stupid.
