Warren Buffet\'s Stance on Taxes
I'm sure it's been talked about here, but I don't think there was an official thread. To see what I'm references read this articles and the articles linked inside it:
Buffet Says the Rich aren't being taxed enough My basic take on it is that Buffet is being a [censored] idiot. I will elaborate later, but I'd like to hear others' views. |

But he pays an ETR of 17% because of dividend and other tax laws. A moral person speaks up here. And no, he shouldn't just send an extra check cause the problem will only be 500million smaller. |

Re: Warren Buffet\'s Stance on Taxes
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. |

I think you need to define "more". This thread is getting the responses I was expecting, and it's sad.

Re: Warren Buffet\'s Stance on Taxes
the rich should not have a lower percentage of their work taxed than the middle or poor.

Re: Warren Buffet\'s Stance on Taxes
CF, I think it would help if you stated your position, rather than just saying that mine is sad. Why is it sad that I want to pay less taxes? Do you want to pay more?
