'Impressed' and 'Delighted' Warren Buffett Matches GOP Rep's Deficit Donations
CNBCCNBC – 2 hours 23 minutes ago

Warren Buffett will be writing a check made out to the United States Treasury for just over $49,000 to help pay down the national debt.

He's matching voluntary contributions made this year and last year by Rep. Scott Rigell, a Republican representing Virginia.

In a letter to Rep. Rigell released today by Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett writes he's "particularly impressed that you took this action before my challenge."
 
Good for him. Now I'm assuming Berkshire Hathaway is going to pay the over $1,000,000,000 in back taxes they owe now. Right?
 
Wow, 49K. That's impressive from the third richest guy in the world. :rolleyes:
My fucking car costs more than that.
 
Sad. The man was respected before he saught the spotlight. Now he's making a fool of himself. A lot of businessmen think once they get rich they know it all. Sad.
 
I think the point he makes about paying less taxes then his secretary was rather genius on his part.

However, $50k to him is like the change I find in the pocket of my winter purse.

HAHAHA 49k to help pay down the 14 trillion debt? omg that's like pissing in the great salt lake to help reduce it's salinity.....who fucking cares?
 
Goddamnit- why can't I ever read on this board? I thought that said "wabbafett" or however you spell it. I've got to pay more attention.

On-subject, I could use 45,000.

Sorry to correct your point. He said he paid a lower tax RATE than his secretary. He pays way more tax than his secretary.

Also, his taxes paid and his tax RATE is greater than the 47% of workers who pay nothing.

$49K

I'm fucking overwhelmed by his symbolic sacrifice of a golf outing...

What would Jesus say? Maybe he'd mention the parable of the rich man and the poor women giving alms at Temple.

Maybe.

True...and I hate to sound like a flaming liberal but can we honestly ask min wage workers up to someone with a spouse and kids who make 45 50k a year (pretty average for that 47%) to hock over 1/2-1/3 of their income? They can't afford that shit.

Yes, to the economical illiterate, I'm sure balancing a checkbook is a great feat of some powerful voodoo black magic.

And then he'd toss out the money-lenders so they could go out and hang with the tax collectors.

Then why are we hitting them with FICA and other withholdings?

Can't they pay 1%, ½% just to be somewhat vested in their benefit programs and have a modicum of pride from being able to contribute as in the parable I just mentioned?

If we're so concerned about the poor, why not go to the FairTax and hit hardest those who spend the most on the most expensive goods and services?

;) ;) Then the poor would not get just all of their earnings, but a monthly prebate check to cover the taxes they would pay on life's basic necessities...

Good question.

I agree they should pay something but if a person makes 40k a year pulling 10-15k off of that (total) plus sales/state taxes runs these people into the fucking poor house which is good for no one as it breeds gov dependance. I don't think anyone should be paying taxes for anything except national def. and infrastructure anyhow.

We can breed government dependence with the simple and obvious expedient of turning our schools over to the government just as Catholic Schools teach you to God.

;) ;)

What I do not see is someone suggesting we take 10-15K off of them. That sounds more like an emotional charge to illicit excitable cries of "unfair" from the people who care more about social justice than economic justice.

What I would suggest is that we do not treat citizens as part of static groups in a dynamic economy, but rather that we treat them as individuals with a LadyFairTax statue that shares a blindfold and scales in common with Lady Justice...

;) ;)
