Has Buffett just gamed the system? I'd like to know, because I see Republicans shouting all the time about how the rich are already paying a million percent, but it just makes no sense considering our tax revenues.

too many loopholes. I dont understand why the tea party has such a problem with eliminating loopholes.

If you posed the question to Tea Party members of going to a flax tax (instead of closing loopholes) I think you'd get a better response.

The loopholes closed would never be the ones guys like Buffet like. A flat tax instead of the current tax system would be a reset, and by definition would close all loopholes.

Because large corporations do not pay taxes, they collect them? Unless you are GE, in which case you just get to keep them.

What is ironic is that Union pension funds have hundreds of billions of dollars invested in stock of many of those very same corporations that they and the lefties never miss a chance to bash.
