He won't send the check.....but I bet he spends plenty of money on tax professionals, using all of obamas "loopholes".

You know...I see absolutely ZERO reason why one of our Republican presidential primary candidates can't do the Sister Soulja thing and start hammering Warren Buffett for not "stepping up" and putting his money where his mouth is.
Might not be a bad idea to start an email campaign to do just this.

Buffet redefines the words hypocrite, chump and useful idiot.

TOOL! He's not happy with Duh Wun, but he keeps pushing the Keynesian, class warfare BS.

Try sending the Perry and Bachmann campaigns a note about pounding on Buffett as part of the problem via the Sister Soulja method.

I'll try Bachmann, since she's my Rep.

I was listening to Beck this morning. Buffet claims that he does not avail himself of the services of tax professionals. Either he's a liar or he's an idiot.
In the clip that Beck played he claimed that he did an informal poll of office workers and almost all of them report a higher tax rate than he pays. Of course the difference is that they are paying taxes on income and he isn't, because all his wealth is tied up in convenient trusts.
People like him remind me of the Aesop fable about the Scorpion and the Frog. Sooner or later...

No, he avails himself with lawyers who then hire the tax professionals. He is not setting up trusts, his corps, his LLC's, etc, on his own. It's like most who have large estates worth a lot of money...His salary may not be "high" by his standards, so he pays little in taxes.
And I do not mind at all if he uses trusts, etc, to pay less in taxes. It is the law. But to then claim the rich need to be taxed more...Hypocrite.

He's just a less wealthy Soros, a smaller turd if you will. Another anti-capitalist who has no problem exploiting the system for their own gain and pissing on everybody else!
I got two fingers for 'em!

Buffett is a scavenger, not a capitalist. One of the reasons he's so fond of the estate tax is it's enabled him to stand by while family-owned businesses are decimated by the tax and then pick them up for a song.

I won't quibble with that, seems accurate to me. Bottom line, benefiting from the system and then attacking others for not behaving as you is beyond poor taste and lack of class...it is a lack of understanding how and why this nation was founded, and that is why his BS stiniks so bad.
