    That man is just a pervert who uses religion as a cover for his own
    evil actions.Claming a direct pipeline to God & fear, he's duped a lot of
    people. I hope he rots in prison.

    This guy is a disgusting low-life piece of scum. Seeing the pics of him and his 12 yr old "bride", just turned my stomach. Hell is too good for the likes of him!

    I think a minute or two of high voltage electricity would be cheaper than feeding the Bast*** for 119 years ???

    Considering the trial is in Texas, that sentence would not be outside the realm of possibility.

    That's all well and good, but Buffet would be relatively immune from those taxes. He makes relatively little in "income", only $100,000 per year, which doesn't even put him in the top bracket.

    You could raise income taxes to 50% and it wouldn't affect him one bit.

    If Buffet thinks his taxes are too low, why doesn't he write a check to the IRS?

    Quote: "The philanthropist said that his 2010 federal tax bill, including income and payroll taxes, was $6,938,744.


    "That sounds like a lot of money," wrote the Omaha, Neb.-based billionaire. "But what I paid was only 17.4% of my taxable income - and that's actually a lower percentage than was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office."

    He added that some investment managers were taxed only 15% on billions of dollars in income. He compared that to the middle class, with its income tax bracket of up to 25%."

    I think Mr. Buffet is missing the point....

    There is plenty of liquidity out there. The big evil bankers are sitting on a lot of cash, most of it from the "stimulus". The question that should be asked, in relation to job creation is WHY are companies not willing to spend that cash on hiring new employees. Or perhaps ask why the banks are they not willing to loan that money to companies to spend? What happens when those trillions of dolllars actually get put into circulation, when there is already a lack of faith in the value of the dollar?

    Taxing all the millionaries at 100% would barely put a dent in the debt, which, IMO, is what they are afraid of.
