In October, Buffett issued a challenge to members of the Forbes 400 richest Americans list, saying he would donate $1 million to charity if the collective group (or a significant number of them) would admit they pay less taxes, as a percentage of income, than their secretaries
| If nothing else than for the addtional charity benefit. It will never happen, but still I'd love to see it happen(that by the was is from the forbes richest man article, yes I know I posted about that earlier, but this has nothing to do with that, other than this one quote) Farewell Little Brother, You Shall be Missed 1989-2007 I'm gonna kick you ass for this though | |

Who cares? The only people bitter about money are the ones that are jealous because they don't have it. In Memory of the Busby Babes :

That is pretty much it. The people without money spend so much time being jealous that they forget the time could be better spent earning some of that dough.
Money has never produced happiness but you can sure as hell produce money from happiness if you put it to use earning it.
I love coffee  It makes me happy. As such I opened a coffee shop which makes me money.
The only thing jealousy will get you is in trouble  To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. S.O.D.

Fuck that, the United States needs to annex all of Mexico and make it a mini-states. We could than use their resources to make mainstream US better
Or we could build a motion detecting submachine gun fence across the entire border and be done with the entire immigration bullshit  To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

For the fucking why here, its just to prove a point. Buffet is one of those rich guys who wants more equal taxation on the wealthy, granted his conciderable wealth means he could give a fuck less, but hey take what you can get man.

I thought wealthy liberals want to make it so that the rich pay all the taxes so that poor losers don't have to pay anything? | |

Not quite but close IMO. They want the OTHER rich folk, not them to give up the riches but they get to keep theres because they are intellectually elitist and deserve to keep it why everyone else has to sacrifice. Pain is Nature's way of saying "At least your still alive!"

Hell I don't want to make the rich pay all the taxes. I say fuck the IRS period, lets all just pay a fedral sales tax, its universal, everybody pays it, and its set at the same rate for everyone Farewell Little Brother, You Shall be Missed 1989-2007 I'm gonna kick you ass for this though | |

Not really.
Just because you make more money you should pay a larger percentage?? That is unfair.... To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Growing up in Texas with tax accountants... I can tell you for sure that the more money you make, the more tax loopholes you have. I thought this was common, albeit unfair, knowledge. | |

They're the ones who pass NEW taxes that THEY THEMSELVES (as elitist wealthy assholes)Know they don't have to pay and stick it on the middle class. | |

And Dyshade, as I have said I don't think they should pay more of a percentage that what I do in taxes, they should have to pay an equal percentage is all, just because they make a shitload of money gives them the right to pay a lower pecentage in taxes, fuck them, equal share assholes, your not better than me just because you have more money than I do, we are all equal in the eyes of death, we might as well all be equal in the eyes of taxes too Farewell Little Brother, You Shall be Missed 1989-2007 I'm gonna kick you ass for this though | |
