Now, I don't have any problem with Buffett paying more taxes. If he's going to walk the walk, he could send in $5 Billion tomorrow. Now that's another silly point conservatives make...he invests in tax free muni bonds...imagine the scoundrel...or he gives away to charity to avoid taxation... The man runs a publicly traded company...he owns what, 25% of it? Do you think he can just manage it recklessly or without regard to the remaining ownership? Do you think he is going to disregard tax advantage? It's ridiculous... Al

Is that your idea here (not that it's exactly YOUR idea by the way, it seems you run around with a lot of other people's ideas, which you don't even bother to vet...) Instead he's shut the government out with the foundation thing. He could just let the government take half. The man is a philanthropist...he is doing a lot of good in the world...what's up with you guys? I don't see Obama setting the bar at $1 million like Buffett, Maybe they should communicate more often. Obama and the dems have explored all of these options...200K+ to 1M+...you don't know what you are talking about. Al

OK...well, that what I was talking about. Now, I don't have any problem with Buffett paying more taxes. If he's going to walk the walk, he could send in $5 Billion tomorrow. Instead he's shut the government out with the foundation thing. He could just let the government take half. I don't see Obama setting the bar at $1 million like Buffett, Maybe they should communicate more often. Oh would you just stop. How rich are you McMannis?. I have never heard so much sniveling and whining coming from one person. You must be loaded to be such a major pain in the ass.
