He makes a Billion, pays 17.5%, His secretary makes $60 grand,
she pays 33.5% of her income, all because of Bush's "fair" tax plan. Even some of the filthy rich can see this country is great because of the middle class. Why can't Bush and dumb head repucks think the rich should ATLEAST pay the same as the rest of us?

Warren Buffet is a super-rich, globalist elitist, who couldn't possibly care less about common people. Rest assured that he's very happy to be paying exactly what he's paying, and not one red cent more.

Most billionaires and millionaires aren't nearly as honorable or charitable as Warren Buffet, who understands why he should be paying a higher percentage of his earnings in taxes than a middle-class wage earner. The rich want to hoard their riches. Other than Buffet, Bill Gates, and a few others, most wealthy people are greedy and selfish, wanting more for themselves. That's how most of them got rich - and that's how most of them intend to remain rich. -RKO- 10/30/07

Why..
The top 5% of the rich pay 96% of all taxes.
The top 1% pay 36% of all taxes.
And since the rich are the ones employing the most (includes also the self employed who too many think are rich when they are in fact not).

The Buffet statement is correct but attributing it to a Bush tax plan is not. Maybe you are too young to know but this was inherited from Clinton...the other Bush...Reagan, etc.
It isn't the republicans that are the problem here. It is the dems.

17.5% of a few billion is a tad bit more than 33.5% of $60,000.
Typical lib's idea of what's 'fair'.
