Socialist Billionaires?

[Flanders]

Checkout these people:

Eighty-one wealthy individuals, including Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Carl Icahn, Ted Turner, Michael Bloomberg, and George Lucas, have joined "the giving pledge," committed to distributing half or more of their wealth to society. Likewise, Mr. Timothy Cook, Apple's CEO, pledged a corporate charity program matching donations up to $10,000 per employee.

Every dollar returned to society is a tax deduction; thereby, passing their altruism onto the backs of taxpayers. Warren Buffett wants to go right to the source:

Indeed, Mr. Buffett followed up his pledge with a call to raise income, estate, and gift taxes on the wealthy as a necessary "sacrifice" to help "families who struggle to make ends meet."

From the Giving Pledge to Totalitarianism

Articles: From the Giving Pledge to Totalitarianism

Buffett (and Gates) say raise the taxes on the wealthy knowing full-well all taxes are paid by working people. Labor is converted to money —— taxes are paid with money. And let’s not forget that the XVI Amendment was supposed to make millionaire robber barons pay their fair share. How’s that been working out in relation to lost freedoms? Not to mention 50 percent all labor being confiscated by government.

If charity came from the hearts of billionaire hustlers they would not take the deduction. You can bet your bottom dollar that not a one those guys will give a penny to charity after the income tax is repealed. Their “generosity” is nothing but a variation of coerced charity, which is what the welfare state is all about. The welfare state is the only time Hussein is telling the truth when he tells the American people “You didn’t build that.”

Incidentally, I seem to recall that much of the money those chiselers are “giving back” is going to foreign countries.

At least old John D. Rockefeller, Sr. improved his image out of his own pocket when he gave gleaming new dimes to children. The sickest aspect of today’s billionaires is that they are not doing it to improve their images. Media has already made them into heroes. Rather than improve their images, billionaires want to legislate love with tax dollar charity. That’s the method Socialists use.

If charity came from the hearts of billionaire hustlers they would not take the deduction.

Its really very simple as Warren Buffet stated it. He created his foundation so his foundation would spend his money, not idiot liberal bureaucrats.

If Buffett did not take the deductions that would mean more for the idiot liberal Solyndra bureaucrats and less for his foundation.

A liberal will so stupid as to not know that Buffett can direct the spending of his money better than an idiot liberal bureaucrat.
