Re: Warren Buffet\'s Stance on Taxes

[ QUOTE ]
I think most people would prefer if the rich at least paid the same taxes as the poor and middle class. There are a lot others who would be in favor of higher taxes on the rich than the poor.
I think corporations should pay higher taxes. I also think Warren should pay more taxes than I do. If I save an extra 1% of my salary, it will affect my life much more than if Warren saves.
[/ QUOTE ]Where the heck did you get the idea that the middle class and the poor pay more taxes than the rich?

How about from Warrren Buffett in the link in the OP? Did you read it?

No way, no is it right that the poor and middle class are shouldering more of the tax burden than the wealthy.

He is not talking in terms of absolute dollars, obviously.
