It turned out that Mr. Buffett, with immense income from dividends and capital gains, paid far, far less as a fraction of his income than the secretaries or the clerks or anyone else in his office. Of course, he's in a position to have nothing but lt cap gains or dividend income i/o a salary. Further, in conversation it came up that Mr. Buffett doesn’t use any tax planning at all. LOL Right.
