Warren Buffett: Stop Coddling the Super-Rich!

no it's not. It's simple logic


If your "right" requires that someone else works/labors to provide you a product or a service, then what is your position if those people refuse to work?

Since you consider it your "right", do you support forcing them to work if they refuse?


it's very simple and thus a very simple answer too.
 
So no one recognizes the inherent inequity in legacy wealth paying a decidedly lower average tax rate due to their unearned portfolio income versus the average upper/middle class household who is working harder to earn less and pay, on average, more income tax?

Because assuming you believe that a marginal increase in qualified dividend/capital gains rates isn't going to cause these wealthy investors to run from the market, I've never really seen the net benefit of our current long-term rates.
 
please point out the inconsistency. he's not in favor of paying more taxes for the sake of paying more taxes, he's in favor of making the superrich pay a more equitable effective tax rate. that doesnt (and shouldnt) preclude him from arguing against specific tax code policies.
 
and it was all future cuts. no actual cuts to shit now.

it's like saying hey instead of spending 1 trillion next year we'll just spend 900 billion. we saved 100 billion!

well no you spent 900 billion
 
Except most smaller investors have top brackets that are equal or near our current capital gains rates so raising capital gains tax will have next to no effect on their tax liability.
 
Its not something he can fix on his own just by handing the IRS extra money, its something that neeRAB to change for all of the wealthy.





trickle down economics lmao
 
Pretty much.

Lots of people in this thread (and OT in general) make fun of those who are truly intelligent.

It makes them feel better about their own pathetic lives.
