Buffett needs to shut up and just write a big check made out to the U.S. Treasury. I’m getting tired of hearing him whine about being too rich and that the government should take away his money. Just send it to Washington you moron!
I’ve written to Hanity, Orielly, Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, and even Greta. I don't know why people aren't telling them to their face that there is no law that says you have to take deductions. If a billionaire pays himself with dividends or capital gains to get the 15% rate, then change that to regular income and pay the 40%. There is a provision that anyone can do right now to just write a check for any amount to apply to the debt. If there is a group of people that want to pay more, The government will take the money. I don't see what the problem is,.....other than them wanting ME TO PAY MORE TAXES ALSO.
The headline says it all. Buffett is a senile, drooling old creep who needs to shut his mouth and will his billions to the Central Socialist Government’s treasury!
I wonder if he changes his Depends himself or have another low-paid serf (his secretary makes $50M/Year) perform the chore?
WOW!
This is THE MOST ACCURATE ASSESSMENT I HAVE EVER READ.
I just said this yesterday in conversation. We can shut this jerk Warren Buffet up. It’s called a NET WORTH TAX! Anyone with net worth in excess of 100 million must pay. And it starts at a rate of 40% with a net worth up to a billion. For net worth in excess of a billion it’s 90%!
These ego maniacs like Buffet do not believe in this crap. He wants to prevent YOU from becoming rich.
Lets start this conversation now. Wanna play class warfare fine. Let’s pass the “NET WORTH TAX” now!
Try this one on for size and read past the first couple sentences and paragraphs:
It’s like a bunch of rich guys running around acting altruistic and claiming the death tax should be reinstated or at higher levels.
What they don’t tell you is their holdings include companies who profit from estate planning, income shelter, etc.
If the government has no death tax it is a direct competition to the insurance companies, law firms, Wall Street, etc.
Without the death tax there is no need for their services and such stringent estate planning.
Here is an excellent video explaining Warren Buffet and Berkshire-Hathaway. Get a cup of coffee and watch it. You will see the scheme explained and then you will get it.
Also note what companies he has acquired, how and why:

Wanna know why Buffet pushed for TARP bailout?
Suffice it to say Berkshire owned stock in some largest receipents of TARP valued at $13 billion around that time.
Here is the funny part:
Buffett increased his bank holdings in September, while he was arguing in the media that Congress should approve the bailout to prevent the collapse of the global financial system.
TARP was approved in October of that year, just one month later!
It’s good to be king!
He actually said “if he didn’t think the government was going to act(in a way that would positive and accretive to hihis holding) he wouldn’t have been doing anything that week”. (paraphrased)

BofA in April 2009 was around $4 per share and is now trading at $13.80 per share as of 3/02/2001
Wells Fargo in April of 2009 was around $11 per share and is now trading at around $31 per share.
How about US Bancorp trading at around $14 per share in April 2009 and now trading at about $26 per share.
Goldman Sachs Group trading at some $51 dollars per share has now zoomed to above $160 per share.
How about those poor folks at American Express trading at just above $10 per share in 2009 and now they are trading at about $45 per share?
Bottom line: We, the schmuck taxpayer, paid to enhance the holdings of companies like Berkshire and investors in Berkshire.
I notice that most of the rich guys saying to raise taxes on the rich are rich enough that they can, so to speak, pay for tax lawyers and accountants out of pocket change.
