Buffett Blames Congress for Romney's 15% Rate

Why should the idle rich, who don't work, pay taxes at a lower rate than those of us who do work?

Because they have more money to buy Congressmen with.

They shouldnt be. We should all be paying a flat tax.

But as long as you support a progressive income tax, than different Americans are going to pay different rates.

Conservatives are the ones who support all people paying an equal share. So why don't you wake up and start supporting ALL Americans paying the same rate?

Because millionaires who don't work paying a little bit more so that the working poor with families can put food on their table and provide for their kids is the right thing to do.

If you can't see that, then I feel sorry for you.

So you want unfair tax rates. Just toward people you choose.

There is no working poor class. This is the United States of America: THERE ARE NO CLASSES.

Stop trying to treat people differently and start supporting a flat tax so all men can be treated equally.
 
You need to shut the hell up and pay higher taxes so Romney can pay less.

buffett owes nearly one billion dollars in back taxes he needs to pay his taxes before he starts telling others they need to pay more.

Do you like paying higher taxes so the super rich can pay less?

Moron, no one can fund the enormous money sucking monster that is the federal gov't. Even if the Rich was charged their fair share, "according to Obama". It would only pay for 8 percent of the new spending proposed by Obama's adminstration.

The Rich are paying their fair share. By definition their fair share is what the law requires them to pay. If they werent paying their fair share, they would be in jail like anyone else who defrauds the government of taxes.*

* Obviously, there is a glaring exception for the rich who were appointed to Barack Obama's cabinent. Obviously, they can commit tax fraud without facing jail time.

No, I will always be for helping the poor, the old, and the sick.

If that means I have to pay a little more in taxes, so be it.

No, the idle rich are paying a mini tax rate that is less than the people who work.

That is wrong.

If that was true, you'd not be attacking the people who obtain wealth by helping the poor with goods, services, and jobs

There is nothing wrong with doing business and making money because by doing so you help others in the community.

You also dont help the poor by treating them as though they are helpless fools. They arent. In fact, they probably wont be poor long because this is the United States and while many of us have downtimes economically, we all have the ability to improve our lives.

No, we don't.

Not everyone is smart and healthy or lucky.

I have known a lot of single mothers who worked full time and raised their kids who were helped tremendously by programs like the earned income tax credit.

If a few millionaires have to pay 5% more in taxes to help them, so be it.

your lack of faith and hope is sad.

People are alot stronger than you realize. If you teach them correct principles they can do incredible things.

You left out charity.

That is even sadder.

Charity has absolutely nothing to do with the government. By definition when force is involved, it can't be charity.

Charity is done by individuals who voluntarily give of their times, talents, and money to bless the lives of others. Charity is employing people not robbing others to give hand outs. Charity is spending your life providing goods and services to others through your daily life.

Thanks for admitting you selfishness.

Modern day conservatism is the political codification of selfishness.
 
So what is the average tax rate millionaires pay now vs what they paid in 1950 or 1960?

The pre-deduction rate was considerably higher back in the day America could afford to build the interstate system and draft everyone including Elvis into an army to guard Europe.

But what was the "after deduction" tax rate back then for the wealthy and us normal folks?

Did you read what I actually said? Im advocating real charity. Not robbery. CHARITY.

Try it sometime.

Isn't 7.5 million dollars enough for you? Why are you a greedy pig?
