Obama playing class warfare politics again. He has no plan, no set tax rate, just a political card to play.
Buffett and his Obama supporting ilk are free to give the federal government has much money over their minimum tax payment as they wish. Nothing is stopping the Orifice of Omaha from doing this but his own greed and hypocrisy.

Why is it that whenever they raise taxes on the “rich”
the “poor” end up paying more.

Thought the “Buffett” whatever it was lost a little steam when it turned out he doesn’t even pay what he is actually supposed to, let alone the more he called for?

"agree to higher revenues from the wealthy in return for Democrats support of future cuts from Medicare and Medicaid"First, "higher revenues" is a mealy-mouthed way of saying "higher tax rates", and in return, you get NOTHING....just a non-binding "promise" of future cuts.

Mr. Obama, in a bit of political salesmanship, will call his proposal the Buffett Rule, in a reference to Warren E. Buffett,What a way to endear yourself to your fellow millionares/billionares? I am sure many will be pissed, to say the least?

It should be called the: Protecting Billionaires Tax
Apparently, Buffet wants to keep it an exclusive club.

I used to respect Buffet. Not anymore. His schtick about his secretary paying a higher rate then him is getting old. Give her a raise so she can hire a battalion of accountants like you do Warren. And don't tell me he only wants to tax the rich. When he was in California a few years ago advocating doing away with Prop 13 he was talking about all classes not just the rich.

Obama’s plans always hammer non-millionaires.
“Rich” is defined by them as $200k (single) $250k (married). Sometimes less than $100k depending on what he’s talking about, and to whom.

Buffet owes about $1 BILLION in back taxes since 2004, he and his team of lawyers have been in court fighting it for years now.
Buffet is nothing but an effin hypocrite.

More jobs out the window, compliments America's "historical" first black President. You increase the taxation of millionaires, who are mostly small business owners, you force them to lay off employees, or put a hiring freeze into action, or cut everyone's pay. Obama does't have the slightest clue as to how a smooth, prosperous economy works. And if he does have a clue, and forces this kind of action anyway, then he also makes history in another way. America's first full fledged TYRANT, replete with the usual narcissism and sociopathology. Oh, did I fail to mention he's also a racist of the highest order, taking his "pound of flesh" from what his mentor and pastor refers to as "those rich white men".
My prediction is that the "first black President", (with a caucasion mother), will go down in history as the most reviled President ever. And even the ultra liberal media and revisionist historians coming to his aid will not be able to change that legacy. He'll be a one term President, then a detested ex President. But that won't bother him in the slightest bit, in fact he'll bask in the knowledge that he got some revenge against we whites whom he and Michelle blame for the enslaving of people of his race so many generations ago. May God bless and save America from his ilk, the "fifth column" within.

Obama Tax Plan Would Ask More of Millionaires (Minimum Tax Dubbed "Buffett Rule") Ask?
Seriously, ask Buffett. After his windbaggery he should be willing to voluntarily contribute thirty of forty billion.

If we want to talk fairness, how about requiring all welfare recipients in good health to work at least 10 hours a week. They could go to nursing homes and help out. They could clean parks, roads, etc. They could cut the grass of the disabled.
To: kristinn
There is currently line on all tax returns which allows every citizen to designate a donation to pay down the national debt.
If Buffett and others are inclined, they may donate all of their personal wealth toward debt reduction. Instead, you see Buffett in court attempting to wiggle his way out of millions in tax liability.
