The rich have spoken
Posted: Nov 22, 2010
"If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further," Buffett said. "But I think that people at the high end -- people like myself -- should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it."

You do realize that Warren Buffett is... - sam
[ In Reply To ..]Warren Buffett is the second richest man in the entire United States. Bill Gates, also mentioned in this article, I think is the richest. When Buffett says "we" I hope he is not referring to those making $250,000 a year (chump change for Mr. Buffett). I don't think they appreciate him speaking on their behalf, since that is the breaking point for what the Dems consider rich as far as tax brackets go. Lots of small businesses fall in those brackets.
I would say let Mr. Buffett put his money where his mouth is, and Mr. Gates as well, check that box on their income tax which we can all do to give more, and give that lot more he says they should be giving. Why change the tax code and make him do it when he can do it of his own free will?
Which makes his statement ring pretty hollow as far as I am concerned.
Thanks for posting, though.
Yeah, its time for Buffett to shut up!! - In a totally different category ...

In other words, at what point did it become a bad thing to be a rich presidental candidate? Personally, I don't care how much money the candidate has. I' ...
