One thing to remember is Warren Buffet made his millions when the top marginal tax rate was far higher than it is today. As for calling for Buffet to just send the IRS a check--I believe that is illegal. But one thing Buffet can do is instruct his tax preparer not to take the deductions for which Buffet is eligible.

Another thing to keep in mind is that those calling for Buffett to send a check to the IRS, or be a hypocrite, are the same ones calling for more tax breaks to the wealthiest (except Buffett or Soros), full support of all the loopholes and subsidies to Exxon and Koch Bros., Monsanto, et. al., yet do not send a check of their own to these companies.

Show us the money.

You might have a point taz, perhaps the food stamp president should have released all of her records before using her in this manner

Note to moderator, this post is on topic because Obama (aka "the food stamp president) used Warren Buffets poor, poor starving secretary as an excuse to try to get approval for his plan to have the thugs down at the IRS to pursue a policy of class warfare (which again, is tax policy).

Come on, Sanity, what does the secretary's hubby make? Im sure you can figure that out, since I certainly cannot find a source for that.

Yea, I know what you mean. The top 20% having had a raise in wealth in the last 30 years only equal to the entire wealth of the bottom 20% and all without creating a single net new job that anyone can probe to me they did...kinda makes you wonder how it is that bottom 20% have survived such warfare.

The previous steal-your-trillions president did leave one hell of a mess hey ? If Obama was white, Calif. repub grade b movie actor, they'd be tak'n bets who he was going trounce in Nov. Alas...he is not.
