"I would leave rates for 99.999 percent of taxpayers unchanged. This helps the poor and the middle class, who need every break they can get. But for those who have more than a billion dollars in accumulated wealth, I would assess an immediate 80% one-time tax on wealth over $1 billion. This would amount to a $40 billion levy on Mr. Buffet, and several hundred billion in total."

There are a whole bunch of Wall St guys getting billions in bonus's.....eg hedge fund managers who get more than 500 billion a year.... You're OK with taxing them despite their claims of cap gains???
