"So to you, it's OK that Buffet has his billions as long as he "believes" he should be taxed more?" He DARES you to tax him, Ten. But all your right-wing billionaires too. Because he and I both KNOW he can stand the higher tariff, that it won't end society as we know it, and we'll all be better off. All you have to do is look at historical tax rates compared to NOW. I don't have any problem with wealthy people - they'll STILL be immensely wealthy if they pay more taxes. I'm fine with that.
