Mr. Buffett and Mr Gates are worth upwards of $100 Billion. When the die they will pay near zero in taxes to the US government. Mr Kerry wants to register his $7M yacht in Rhode Island to avoid taxes. Mr. Buffett takes a paltry salary and pays a lot less than Mr. Romney.

Sounds like you want a broader tax base with no loopholes. Which is not what your party wants.
