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.

our next election is going to be like the New York paper's headline when the Jets fired Pete Carroll and hired Rich Kotite.

Warren Buffet paid less of a percentage of income taxes than I did last year. That's ridiculous.

I agree wholeheartedly with a flax tax, no deductions and a poverty cutoff. It's all of those who benefit from the current gi-normous system who defend it. Rich guys who wrote those loopholes, and poor guys who actually get "refunds" in excess of taxes paid, even when taxes paid were zero.

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.

Maybe Clyde should run. He seems to have all the answers and he's a real piece of **** like the rest of these politicians.

But when you are easily lost in your own neighborhood,it's understandable.

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

It's a corporate lobbying platform disguised as a populist revolt.

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.

and if things continue as they are now, which i hope doesn't happen, then obama is in for a real battle.

It's "Perry", btw. "Parry" is the fake candidate Stephen Colbert advised Iowa voters to vote for in the straw poll

Perry doesn't stand a chance. Karl Rove already took him down today. The Bushies hate him.

Perry is "big hat, all the jobs I made are at McDonalds, to support the jobs the oil industry brought in that I am taking credit for"
