That Warren Buffet is pretty shrewd the way he hides his leftist philosophies: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44143776/ns/business-personal_finance/ :wink: 8)
Buffet's views on the subject are well known.....he is also well known for his charitable works the most public of which is his "Giving Pledge" wherein he founded a movement to encourage the ultra-wealthy to donate the majority of their fortunes to charity......to date members include Buffet, Gates, David Rockefeller, George Lucas, Ted Turner, Larry Ellison, Bloomberg, Milken among others......a noble effort to be sure particularly coming for such God-less, uncaring cretins of the business owner/wealthy set One wonders however why Mr. Buffet and friends are pledging to donate their fortunes to chosen private sector charities rather than the bottomless sh!thole that is the federal bureaucracy...they could put a much bigger dent in the federal budget than by increasing their tax rate. Mr. Buffet is quite capable of cutting a check to the US Treasury anytime for any amount if he so chooses.....or pledge his fortune. What he cannot do is suggest the current tax code is unfair when 10% of the taxpayers pay 70% of the bill for all and more than half of all taxpayers pay ZERO federal income tax......unfair and favors the rich? I think not......
