    Why not grow a wealthier nation?
    The best way to eliminate poverty is for each generation to be able to accumulate wealth by lower taxes and include the previous generation's wealth to be built upon.

    Lefty cretins will never get this. Too complicated for retards. I know one personally it's all about "raise taxes, have government do this and that, invest in people" and all other typical cliches and non-sense. And you know what? He earns cash and DOESN'T PAY HIS FUCKING TAXES. These fuckers are all the same hypocritical garbage.

    ElCubano you might be wrong, truly greedy motherfuckers enjoy hording of cash not spending it. Reg. Mr.Buffet I've heard that the guy can hardly talk about anything else than money.(just a hearsay though)

    I understand that the IRS won't see the money. He is playing by the rules that exist today. And saying that we should change the rules.

    That the federal government is inefficeint was never the question.

    Last and not least. He would NEVER have to pay taxes on that money. Whomever inherited it would. Teh whole tax liability is on the recieving end. All this other stuff you are writing has nothing to do with what I said.

    I think everyone on both sides agrees with the first part. Everyone disagrees on how to do it. If there was one right way that was proven over and over, every country in the world would be doing and then we could all be rich.

  5. This is for your retarded, hypocritical, lefty, cretin neighbor. Maybe it will result in him gaining an IQ point.

    IRS will pay you to turn in tax cheaters

    SmartMoney is reporting....

    Under a newly amended rule from the Internal Revenue Service, ordinary citizens can help the tax man cometh, or at least collect. The new Whistleblower Office is the IRS's attempt to give incentives for you to rat out the tax cheats you know.That's right. If your employer, co-worker, landlord, neighbor or father-in-law is raking in fistfuls of cash and bypassing Uncle Sam, you can anonymously report the abuse to the IRS and snag a windfall from their dishonesty.As long as the total amount of tax fraud comes out to at least $2 million (including penalties, interest, and whatever else the government ultimately collects based on your report), you can get a 15 to 30 percent cut.....

  6. I'd like the details of how Buffett was taxed at 17% and his secretary at 30%. Clearly his secretary did not pay income taxes anywhere close to 30%. anyone with even a slight familiarity with the tax code knows that. And how did buffett avoid the AMT that is supposed to catch rich tax avoiders like him?

    Buffett is concnerned, just not concerned enough to pay his help more, even while he rakes it in himself. Like most liberals, his concern is largely verbal, designed to make him look good and feel morally superior.

  8. So if Buffett's $60k secretary is married, she and her husband paid about $1500 in federal taxes or around 2.5 %. Maybe he got the decimal misplaced. Actually they paid a lot less, because that is the tax on $60k in taxable, not gross, income.

    How can anybody be so stupid not to understand this simple shit???
    I would put all my money on the line that (if doable and provable) ZZZ....... and others like him wouldn't pay a penny in taxes if they could get away with it.
