Warren Buffett calls for a minimum tax on the wealthy...

In a New York Times editorial printed on Monday, Buffett suggested Congress move immediately to implement minimum taxes of 30 percent on incomes of $1 million to $10 million and 35 percent above that.


"A plain and simple rule like that will block the efforts of lobbyists, lawyers and contribution-hungry legislators to keep the ultra rich paying rates well below those incurred by people with income just a tiny fraction of ours," Buffett wrote.


"Only a minimum tax on very high incomes will prevent the stated tax rate from being eviscerated by these warriors for the wealthy," he added.

Warren Buffet speaks as a man that started life with little and does not mind others also having little.

Do you know what burns my ass?

Not that Congress wants to tax the rich.

No.

Because they will simply spend a lot more and dig the grave deeper.

If I honestly thought Congress would learn a lesson and slow down spending, and the rich could contribute to that, I would approve.

Its a scam.

It's the same scam democrats pulled on Reagan.


"Add to the taxes and we promise to spend less."



Then they don's spend less.

Has Warren wrote a check to pay the back taxes his company owes, or is he still fighting the IRS over the amount he owes? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/29/warren-buffett-taxes-berkshire-hathaway_n_941099.html
