Except Picaso didn't clarify if he's justifying the behavior or pointing out that ALL of them should be paying?

When I'm worth $50 billion you can raise my taxes, too. Until then, I'd like to keep the money I work so hard to make and government parasites work so hard to take away from me.
I didn't "splice" anything. I gave a link to the article. And there's nothing misleading about the title. White House aides support the president's policy in congress and throughout the country. Ask any one of them, including those that owe money to the IRS, if they "want" taxes raised and they will say yes. If you don't believe me, call the White House and ask for yourself. Those same people who didn't pay their taxes are supporting tax increases. White House aides support tax increases in their meetings with congress. They support tax increases with press releases. They support tax increases by meeting with heads of state governments to pitch the President's policy. They support tax increases when they meet with private citizen groups to try to gain support for the President with the public. I know how the system works. White House aides support the President's policies and "want" the same things he does. If they didn't agree with him on these major issues, they wouldn't be working at the White House.
So are the ET losers here who are either from another country and need to get a life, or are American freeloaders who desperately need a socialist welfare state.
On top of that Buffet has one foot in the gave. He's too fucking old to enjoy his money and/or probably feels guilty for being obscenely wealthy.
