effective tax rate, so the story goes. Warren Buffet has a million more tax shelters to reduce his tax liability, than his secretary. Dollar for dollar he paid probably 1000 times more than her.
I know. I just like to bring out little factoids like that. It makes people like @LaSalleAve mad. Buffet's tax attorneys and accountants probably make more per year that a lot of people make in a lifetime of working.
Are you kidding. Another example of the elite super-rich taking advantage of the downtrodden worker. a bloated plutocrat living high on the hog while crushing the hopes and dreams of the little man under his designer, corporate logo jackboots.
Dollar for dollar yes, but I shouldn't have to pay a larger percentage of my overall income back than a person who benefits more for the things government has provided.
