Wow! What a surprise! And now saying that we can't afford both oil subsidies and tax credits for small businesses. This is so engaging right here. His "This is Sparta!" moment.

1. Buffet is all for taxing the rich as long as it is not him.

He has shielded his entire estate in a trust run by his children. He will not pay a dime in estate taxes when he dies.

We need taxes on ASSETS. Not just at the state level like some states, but at the federal level. The estate tax is already in place, but it affects the working middle class more than the assclowns that can pay lawyers and accountants to hide money in trusts that will never be touched.
