<<in some areas - extremely rich. >> Where in the US would a family of 4 or 5 be extremely rich with a total household inc of $63k ? <<i'm obsessed with reasonableness and fairness.>> Not sure i follow your logic in arriving at your version of fairness. << buffet's potential 3% tax rate isn't fair. it isn't reasonable. it is bad for america. >> Buffet is one of the richest people in the world. Why do you suppose he doesn't simply liquidate his stock, all his companies, liquidate all those companies' jobs, just sell the whole thing, and take it easy?
