Buffett A Go Go


Nice list of inequality by country, b to the w.

So, for all the hatred of wealth in these parts - Buffett gets a pass (because he thinks the rich should pay more taxes)?

Didn't he fuck you all over getting rich? You forgive being fucked over because he says one thing you agree with about taxes?

Does Buffett use all the tax breaks that are available to him? He could pay more taxes by not doing that, as well as making voluntary payments above his tax liability.

I guess he's just the proper brand of hypocrite.

Ehh, if Buffet's so concerned that he and his kind aren't paying enough in taxes, then why doesn't he simply pay the government what they say he owes instead of dragging it out in court year after year. Why, it's almost like he's a two-faced fraud on the subject, wouldn't you say?

Stick to the debate about the issue he raised. Critically examine his statements and make counter arguments as to why they aren't valid. Sadly you have (not surprisingly) resorted to point #2 of Boaz's 14 points: Character Attack/Ad Hominem. There's no denying that wealthy people are getting welfare so, since you run the risk of losing the argument, you go for the redirect and personal attack.
