Buffett blasts system that lets him pay less tax than secretary

Quote from andrasnm:

What amazes me is the attempt to characterize Buffet as an "Internationalist" shill, akin to current mafia leadership in the WHite House, when in fact he is an above average investor that beat most daytraders and other speculators at their own game using fundamental analisys and patience. He is now saying a few things about how "fuckism" really is here and you call him a traitor? WTF!!!?? You should buy some common sense at the dollar store, Pal. He is backing Hillary since the GOP has no frigging, legit. candidate since Bloomberg went independet :)

bloomberg is a legitimate candidate? Ron Paul is what?

im not saying buffet isnt smart and a good investor... but why is he silent as his good friend patrick byrne watches his company terrorized by the naked shorting mafia? do you have any clue what this is going to do to the american people and the stock market?

and no offense... anyone that supports hillary has to be the most politically un-savvy or a sell out scumbag.

go sell your new age tripe somewhere else. you and the fake Jesus "I AM" clown crack me up... go read the secret again.
 
Quote from FightTheFuture:

Now that I am so close to the end of my career and have made $52 Billion, it's only fair that you may now tax me at the same rate as my secretary.

I could have voluntarily helped pay off the "public" debt with my $52 Billion, but I'll leave that up to those families that are working hard to accumulate wealth with the intention of being self-sufficient and not having to rely on assistance.

I admit it will be even harder for the young folks to accumulate a bit of wealth with the higher taxes that I'm proposing, but screw them, I've got mine.

wonder why he cowers when it comes to the naked shorting mafia?
 
The klannish worship the likes of Donald Trump...bland, blue suite red tie, boorish, self absorbed, marries young women because he needs the ego boost...it is all about Trump, and they dig that, idolize that...

A rather normal guy, unassuming guy like Buffett who will give most of his money away to charity terrifies them...

I swear, it must be a guilty conscious on some deep level that makes the klowns and klannish act the way they do...

Quote from Thunderdog:

It is difficult for me to understand the animosity towards Warren Buffet. Would you guys feel better and warm all over if he was grabby and pushy, and gave a greed speech like Ivan Boesky did in the 80s? Then, perhaps if he did a bit of time for insider trading or fraud, you might canonize him?

I have no interest in Buffett's personal life, but why does Buffett not propose that his secretary pay the same 17.7% tax rate as he does, so perhaps his secretary can better provide for her children by accumulating wealth for them, so they can inherit that wealth, so that they may continue to do the same for their children?

Taxing capital gains at 30% will not help the secretary that's paying 30%, and if he really cared about his secretary, he should pay her more.

Why not grow a wealthier nation?
The best way to eliminate poverty is for each generation to be able to accumulate wealth by lower taxes and include the previous generation's wealth to be built upon.

Oh, but do not empower the individual. Go forth and weaken and disable the individual, for it will increase their needs for assistance, as it will empower the Government and the Elite that run it.
 
Quote from minmike:

So giving to charity is dodging a tax? That means that the inheritance tax is completely voluntary and there would no need to abolish it correct?

There are good things and bad things about anyone but at least make sense if you are going to complain.

"make sense" ........... what a joker.


no rebuttal required, you represent yourself well enough for anyone to understand.
 
all income tax revenues cant even service the interest on the debt that is paid to private criminals that own the private federal reserve.

if we printed debt free money we wouldnt need the irs and the criminal mafia that keeps this scam going.

fuck their lies and illegal wars.... scooter libby helped engineer the lies that bush used to illegally invade a sovereign country and increase the illegal debt 500 billion so far.

Please enlighten me on how charitable giving is dodging taxes. Should we tax charitable giving? What are you saying?

.... what a nob.

Buffet denied the IRS 50% of 52 Billion by donating it to charity.

WHY? Because he like any fool with a pair of eyes understands that the Feds will simply waste 90% of the 50% of that 52 Billion. The money will be put to better use in the private sector. Just like the secretary's income would be better put to use for herself in her own hands.

Why didn't Buffet suggest the secretaries tax level be lowered instead of raising the rate on the mega-wealthy only after his tax obligations (or rather coercions, see the Ron Paul thread) have virtually disappeared?
