Re: Buffett says "Tax me!"

Re: Buffett says "Tax me!"

He's a crook who makes money off of insider deals, because he buys the information just as he buys legislation from Congress.

He wants to tax the working busting their asses running businesses making $250,000-$1,000,000/yr, because he's so rich it doesn't touch him. He'll even escape the estate tax thanks to his army of lawyers and the legislation he's bought.

He's a crook. He should listen to us all tell him to go [cluck] himself.

Ofcourse he wants more taxes, it takes out opposition while he pays almost nothing.

Re: Buffett says "Tax me!"

If you're going to put a 30% tax on anyone who makes more than a million per annum, why not just stop working for the rest of the year once you've made your first million?

Re: Buffett says "Tax me!"

They used to do just that.  Read some of the Nero Wolfe books of the 40s, 50s, 60s.  Also the Dow Jones was below 3000.

@spock:
no, they give you a 1 dollar coupon you can trade for cloths distributed in specialized shops you have to work in. Clearly, you're far to soft.

Re: Buffett says "Tax me!"

back in the 1940s the rich loaned money to the government and lived off the income - clipping bond coupons

at 1% interest that's not even an option anymore.
