(looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
I think the old fart has gotten senile and doesn't know what to do with money.
Now why didn't Buffett just write that $5 Bil check to the IRS???
It’s CNN, so go figure...Obama’s “base” is the welfare mob...

Looks like KOS has their people hitting this pretty hard. So sad people jump in line behind this thing without knowing the facts, specifically that it turns out Obama’s claim of millionaires paying less of a percentage in income taxes than the middle class is another OBAMA BIG LIE. As of 2008, the year such data was last available, those making a million and above PAY an average 23.3% income tax rate. Those making $500K-$1 million pay 24.1%. Those making $200-500K pay 19.6%. Those making $100-$200K pay 12.7%. Those making $50K-$100K pay 8.9%. Those making $30K-$50K pay 7.2%.
OBAMA AND HIS DISHELVED SOCK PUPPET BUDDY, WARREN BUFFET, ARE FILTHY DISGRACEFUL LIARS! The IRS’s own data proves Obama’s claims are fraudulent and deceitful.
No 25%
Better get to voting....we are losing big time!
The Buffet Rule: Eat the rich!

This is not a scientific poll
The financial services sector which includes FNM and FRE was primarily responsible for profiting enormously in the 2003-2008 housing bubble period while taking much risk, which is all well and good....except while their profits were privatized, they were going bankrupt, and their losses were then socialized to the rest of us through the bailouts and their cronies on in the Federal Reserve.
They should have been personally bankrupted but American taxpayers were forced to bail them out because both Parties are beholden to their money and influence. I’m strongly in favor of forcing this financial services club to pay tax rates similar to the 1950s that will be dedicated to reducing the USA debt.
If these thieves move offshore they lose their citizenship and their right to ever return to the USA just like Clinton’s buddy Marc Rich. The banksters need to be held fully accountable to tax payers and give back their ill conceived gains times three. We know Congress is afraid to do it.
Still 75%/25%. Class warfare (and ignorance) is alive and well in this country. I was reading an article on this, and it mentioned that only .3% of earners will be affected, as if that makes it ok. If that’s the case, how ‘bout we tax Congress and the Executive (and the liberals in the Judicial) at 100%? It’s less than .3% of the population! So it must be ok, right??
