T Boone Pickens Jim Walton David Koch Charles Koch Steve Wynn Steve Forbes I could go on but it's difficult to take you seriously... After all you can't even figure out the relationship between our nations debt and unemployment. FYI it is patriotic to find loop holes in the Tax code when the gov spends millions of $$'s on things like giving away black berries to help people quit smoking.

Tea Party Activist Confronts Obama on Biden’s ‘Tea Party Terrorist’ Smear So, what is he saying here? Since individuals have called the President of the United States names, then it's OK for the Vice President to label an entire group of citizens as "terrorists"? Wow, what a narcissist. http://www.breitbart.tv/obama-dismisses-challenge-about-bidens-tea-party-terrorist-smear-ive-been-called-a-socialist/

>> But Buffet knows he has more money than he could ever need has decided to do good works with it and give back to the country... Buffet sees a 55% death tax approaching rapidly and is doing everything possible to avoid it by forking over the money to Bill & Melinda, rather than "giving it back to the country" as you suggest. Bill and Melinda aren't spending their money in the United States. Out of 2.5B spent in 2010 $380M was in the US, about 15%. And BTW, Gates like Buffet, is playing the death tax avoidance game. They're both effectively AVOIDING paying tax to the US government and instead, paying over money to causes outside the US. Why are they doing this? The answer is simple: They, like many others, understand that their money doesn't amount to a hill of beans in trying to tame the problems of the federal government.
