Buffet’s a big boy. He can stick up for himself. I pay a lower percent in income taxes than his secretary, too, because I don’t pay any, because I have too little income to be liable under either Israeli or American law. But it’s mis-leading to say that there are corporations who pay zero income tax, and offer Buffet, an individual, as an example. If he wants to pay a higher percentage, he’s free to do so. But I’d venture that he was just virtue signaling by telling half the truth. He’s paying a lower percentage because capital gains are at a lower percentage. When he sells a huge block of stock, he pays millions in capital gains tax and zero income tax. If you insist on taking offense on behalf of Buffet, you’re on a fool’s errand. He already has a lawyer and a publicist.
I don’t understand your need to run me down as a Free Creature for making true statements about non tax payment by some large corporations, and Buffets comment on our tax system. I’m sure a number of these corporations which are paying no tax, are NOT making up for it by selling stock and paying Capital Gains tax. It almost sounds as if you have a need to defend large corporations which are well defended by their lawers and CFOs.
