Warren Buffet, the lefts favorite Billionaire is a Hypocrite

[GWV5903]

So we all know Buffet is running around saying he and other Billionaires should pay more taxes. Ok cool.

then explain why his company is involved in a years long dispute with the IRS in which he is fighting paying what the IRS claims he owes?

“The rough translation of the report is that Berkshire Hathaway did not pay all the federal taxes that it was required to for 2002 through 2004. The IRS examination team caught Berkshire Hathaway on at least some issues. Instead of paying up, Berkshire Hathaway is threatening the IRS with protracted litigation and is in the process of cutting a deal with the IRS Appeals office.”

“For 2005 and 2006, Berkshire Hathaway again did not pay all the federal taxes that it was required to. Again, the IRS examination team caught Berkshire Hathaway on at least some issues. Now, Berkshire Hathaway is threatening the IRS with protracted litigation and is trying to cut a deal with the IRS Appeals office.”

“And, finally, the IRS has opened another examination of Berkshire Hathaway’s tax returns for 2007 through 2009, but has not officially sent Berkshire Hathaway the bill yet for taxes that Berkshire Hathaway failed to pay for those years. One would expect they will find yet more issues.”

Warren Buffett: Tax Hypocrite
So can we maybe stop holding MR buffet up as hero now. He is a fucking Hypocrite. If you think the Government needs your money so badly, why in the hell would you fight your tax bill?

Perfect example of why his opinion on this is meaningless...

By all means BRK's fiduciary responsibility is to retain as much as possible for their shareholders, but for Buffett to compare his tax basis to a $250K AGI is pure bullshit...

It's really quite simple: Buffett must defend and protect his investors. His personal finances are an entirely different matter.

By violating the LAW like Timmy Giethner?

Stop embarrassing yourself.
