Then everyone will be on welfare, just like the Won wants.
And if they aren't willing to work then they should still receive income that will provide him or her a decent lifestyle, right?
The liberals quote him on his views on raising taxes. Let’s see how they respond to this.
I'm always amused by media types who ask people starting up new businesses in my area how many people they plan to employ... many times as their first question. I'd love it if one of the new business people told them "as few as I can get by with."
Because that's the truth...another worker is an extra cost to run a business. The extra worker must be justified in a cost analysis. But most media people being libs they can't comprehend that.
The better answer is a major and carefully crafted expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which currently goes to millions of low-income workers. Payments to eligible workers diminish as their earnings increase. But there is no disincentive effect: A gain in wages always produces a gain in overall income. The process is simple: You file a tax return, and the government sends you a check.

Good old Warren wants to shift the burden from himself to the taxpayers.
The real solution is to control unchecked immigration.
His support for Obama did not work either.
so, he wants taxpayers to subsidize his employees by 50%?
“Hey, he’s a multi-zillionaire...”
He’s also a Marxist!
Around here, I'm appalled how many people get $10 or less an hour for jobs they've had for the long term, jobs where they're doing work that not any low skill worker could do.
Low income workers who are loyal and do good work should make $12 and hour and have the opportunity to work 35 or more hours a week. Then they can become tax paying self sufficient contributors to society.
In a free rational society, average money wage rates depends on conjunction of the demand for labor and the supply of labor. It does not depend on what someone wishes would happen or fantasizes about.If the number of workers competing for a job that requires little skill or knowledge is high, then the wage rates for that job will be low due to the law of supply and demand.
Warren, How bout you just offer to pay the taxes for anyone that doesn’t want to pay theirs.
Not willing to work, capable of work. If they're capable but unwilling, they get nothing.

Blah...blah...blah, Warren.
Sit down, shut up, spin some
Jimmy Buffet tunes, and cut
more support checks to the
asshat politicians who keep
pushing for higher minimum wage.
Sure he gets the minimum wage part, then this...
The better answer is a major and carefully crafted expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which currently goes to millions of low-income workers.
All this accomplishes is redistributing wealthy, so that those who make more money take home less.
Isn't that just grand. s/
Aw government theft, that's the ticket. Robbin' Hoods all over the nation...
The more Buffett opens his piehole, the more I am starting to agree with Obama.
Buffett is one of life’s lottery winners.
He is interested in maintaining government subsidizing low come workers. Low income drives federal benefits. If people could not live on a low income due to the removal of low income supports salaries would go up (or there would be major unrest), but then tax costs would go down.
Buffet is for everyone else paying for low income workers.
We have gone this road before and seen that it does not work to raise minimum wage. But now that we are tied into this totalitarian global market rats nest, and no one is looking out for the economic well being of Americans, I surely don’t want the US sinking to the depths of China and India in order “to compete for global jobs.”
I see the future of the US: getting paid 25 cents per day as an “honorable” slave to the New World Order. No way, Jose. I would rather crash and break everything.
