>> Nope...under his proposal (buffett rule) his taxes would go up to 30%.... Sure, taxes on a trivial amount of tax base to him. Warren Buffett could give three shits about income taxes. His money is all tied up in capital assets. He's a hypocrite from the word go. He has actually said it himself: He believes the Gates foundation is a "better allocator of resources" than the government so he is choosing to contribute his wealth to it instead of having the government pay down the debt. This is liberal hypocrisy at its worst. Why does Buffett feel that everyone else ought to pay higher taxes while he carefully avoids paying them himself?
