No one explained that the Buffet Rule would not have caused Buffet to pay more taxes: Buffet keeps his individual salary at $100,000 and usually less than $75,000 for director fees.(less than $200,000).

Sure, he's not an idiot, though I presume on Medicare, he doesn't want to pay the taxes to support it. Though I disagree politically, I wish Jobs had lived a long life, he was a asset to the nation (ours and China), but his salary was $1. He paid 12.5 cents for medicare, Apple matched it. For all his whining about taxes, perhaps Warren would like to pay capital gains taxed on his deductabile donations to his foundation. Don't know the numbers, but simplisticly if Warren donates $1 million, and deducts $1 million, which cost him $1,000, why not pay on the capital gains? Liberals know not just which side their bread is buttered on, but how to butter it.

Of course he's not an idiot. He also revealed in the Brokaw interview that he believes in a consumption tax.

His concept was that all your money went into an investment account, and would only be taxed when you wrote a check to spend it. LOL just what you would expect from the head of an investment company.

But when Pubbies go on the news programs, they don't reveal this info. They just say well we should not tax the job producers, and people are skeptical of that.
