I find it interesting that the media is now interested in fact checking Obama. I guess they have come to the realization that he is taking progressives down with him. It will not be hard to sink him as about everything he says is based on lies.

The problem with the Buffet anecdote is that the 15% that investors earn from dividends and capital gains are earnings after the corporation has already paid the 35% corporate tax. So the actual tax rate these investors are paying is more like 45%.

On the other hand, money paid to secretaries comes from pre-tax earnings, so that money is not double taxed.

There is a line on your tax form that allows someone to pay extra money on their taxes to lower the nation's debt. I wondered how many libs have used that option and if the money sent in really goes to lower the debt or is it spent on a Charles Rangle Library

Americans KNOW that this claim is specious. What Obama DIDN’T do was anything about the ways in which the demonRAT “party of rich” hides its money from the IRS, all the ways that they protect their wealth, not usually offered to the ordinary members of the middle class.

Never fear, Bambi, some of us know EXACTLY what you are doing, and it won’t help you.

This whole “tax the bejeesus out of the rich” is Obama at his demagogic worst...or best depending on how you look at it. He knows the facts, he’s just trying to stir up the base.

As a proud Katharine Gibbs certificate holder and really good secretary, I thought that secretaries are a thing of the past. PC terms: Executive Assistant, Executive Admin . . .
Is anyone looking to hire a real secretary? I’m available. Northern VA.

Something went haywire morally with Buffet when he had to abandon Graham and Dodd’s methods of security analysis. One typical scoffer at Seeking Alpha writes emotionally accurately of the mindset that took over when Graham and Dodd was abandoned by the investment community: http://seekingalpha.com/article/44626-the-graham-and-dodd-method-for-valuing-stocks

The facts in that essay -— regarding applying G&D to stocks versus a randomized return — are very suspect, imo. I mean who did the analysis?

Graham and Dodd’s methods generalize and work well when their underpinnings are understood. Buffet seems to have stuck with them too, long past 1956.

But something went wrong in trying to use them. And I remember when it was, and think I remember what Buffet — in his yearly commentaries — thought of it, directly and by inference.

Graham and Dodd rely on honest books. Real fiduciary duty and accurate reporting. THAT’S what broke down. Mark it to the mid-seventies onward, and the retirement of the Cocktail set with replacement by the Cocaine set.

I think that pervasive social breakdown of mores, morals and ethics in the investment, banking and finance community got to Buffet.

He has obviously joined the extreme social deconstructionists like the old Marxists who advocate Stalin-Mao like despotism, and the new Marxists like Cloward-Piven and Alinsky, or a mortal enemy like a Bin Laden, or the modern bloody levelers like Ayers-Dorhn (and their apt student Obama), who believe that the whole Western system must be destroyed, financially, economically and civilly.
