And Warren...
By all means Warren you are welcome to tax your heirs into poverty....but speak only for yourself. I have no interest in your version of liberal socialism.
Their trotting out Buffett again? LOL!
Fine. Pass a rider on the bill to kill the death tax that exempts his family.
Must be nice having the where-with-all to afford such high quality crack!
Stoopid communists!
Hey Warren, why don’t you just shut the heck up and write a check to the government. It’s a novel thought called putting your money where your loud mouth is.
easy for Buffet to say... he won’t be around to experience the results. you know... I think I’ve figured out the agenda of liberalism: spread misery equally to all.
I’m giving away all my money after I’m dead too!
“”Without the estate tax, you in effect will have an aristocracy of wealth”
Better that than a tyrannical gov’t who feeds off the dead.
This is a typical Socialist POS. He has got his and put his money in foundations to exempt himself from taxation. Then, he hires his kids and pays them big salaries. This is a tax scheme the rich have been dong for years.
I can’t stand this fat old blow hard. He and his wife are still married, but don’t live together, so he does not have to cough up half his earnings. I wish she would go ahead and divorce the old fart and take half. That would get him off the top ten richest people list for sure.
And Warren...
Here this guy uses every means to lessen his taxes then decides to give his vast fortune to the Gates Foundation free of estate taxes, just what do I think?
As Doc Hollday said in “Tombstone”, “My Hypocrisy only goes so far”.
I'd feel better having the families of financially successful people keep their money rather than having the gooberment snatch it up for redistribution.
Using executive control of financial means to force parity works for the NFL, not our personal lives.
This idiot has complete control over his own money...Why doesn’t he concern himself with that and quit trying to make the rules for everyone else?
Warren Buffet is a moron.
He pays taxes throughout his entire life and doesn’t think that it is enough after retirement? I don’t care how rich or poor you are, when you go to your grave, the government shouldn’t be allowed to rob your grave.
Even after that, what's left of your estate after it's taxed (at which time you'll be DEAD) will ensure that your children's children won't have to worry about where their next cheeseburger is coming from ...
so, Warren, give all you want of what's yours to the government ... but keep your hands out of my pocket.
obviously Warren wants to see his wealth squandered by government and UN bureaucrats instead of his heirs. Fine with me.
However, if someone else in his generation managed to acquire a million or two, s/he should be able to pass that on to his/her kin without Uncle getting most of it.
Warren Buffett’s aim of destroying family wealth would be just as well served if we required rich folks to turn all their money in for cash and forced them to have a bonfire.
Would that work for him?
Or is he just looking to steal money from other people to finance more government largesse?
Why doesn’t he just leave his money to the government? After all, Hillary knows so much better than we do how to spend our money. Sheesh....
one thing is sure. When Warren passes on, he will pass on stupid.
If Warren wants taxes for the rich to go up, he should be a leader and give the government some of his money. Most sane people believe they can do a better job with their money than the government. Pay your taxes for defense, roads and the management of the government. All else should be taxpayer money and shouldn’t be touched just because somebody who has lived a good life thinks more should go to taxes.
He shouldn’t be speaking for others without showing what he can do himself.
