Just a statement, that Romney preached tax reform yet plays the system like no one else that we know of that's run for president, so he's in the same class as Buffett.

The tax reform he was preaching was cutting loopholes, which would effect him if your accusation is true. That is not even close to the same as buffet and his hypocrisy, which was essentially 'the rich (<= 250k household) need to pay more, unless they're me.'

Buffet wasn't running for president, Romney was, big difference, Romney = bigger hypocrisy IMO. But it doesn't matter, government policy is probably close to the same now as it would of been if Romney would of won. Just like the transformation from Bush to Obama hasn't changed much.

oh I dunno buffett whispering sweet nothings in obama's ear ,the buffett tax.

I'd say buffett is by far the biggest hypocrite, maybe as much as obama himself.

You are once again wrong mr lucrum, again

. Romney was the grand champion flip flopper and pandering champ also. I can understand voting for him as a vote against Obama, but I do not understand the true Romney supporters. He changed his views constantly, he has maybe the largest IRA account in America with no explanation how he did it. He refused to show his tax returns for a time period that every other person running for president has done, republican and democrat. Hint, it wasn't because of principle, it was because what would be revealed would hurt his chances of becoming president.

Quote from RedDuke:

All top 10% pay way too much, however ultra wealthy, who are a tiny fraction of top 1% are not paying their fare share. There is the whole industry that uses elaborate schemes to help them paying a much smaller % than the rest of us. Yet, they get to enjoy all the same benefits as we all, plus a lot more of course. It is a simple as that.

Like Hollywood actors who rake in the cash. Special tax loopholes just for them, courtesy of the democrats.
