Warren Buffet May Owe A Billion Dollars In Back Taxes

Another reason Buffet is dishonest is because if he really believed what he says he would pay extra in taxes either as a gift or he would do what Obama wants to do and eliminate giving to charity all together and send it all to government and let government re-distribute the wealth.
Actions speak louder than words but all Buffet is a hypocrite with a lot of money and a big mouth.
Yes I do think if you are going to campaign like a politician or play in politics with the big boys or have a policy named after you, all truth not part of it should be made public.

I am against any more revenue going to the government until the government is fixed.
This is a whole different conversation, if you gave your kids money and they wasted it you wouldn't give them any more money either. Your government is your children in this case, they have about that much intelligence and a lot less back bone than a 5 year old.

 

No, I didn't make it up, It had been a while since I reviewed this information so I didn't get it correctly, I admit it, even I make mistakes.
He has advocated for giving less to charity and more to government. There is no doubt in my mind and it shouldn't be any doubt for anyone on the planet that Obama's answer to everything is government. That is what I meant by all the money going to government and the government redistributes everything from there. When you think about it, sounds a lot like the Liberal Health Care plan that passed along partisan lines

Tax break for charitable giving targeted - The Hill's On The Money

 

That's funny because Frank (and other Senators, Congressmen, etc. who need financial information from "experts") got his information from... Wall Street.

 

Well that is funny isn't it?
Maybe we need to have investigations and find out the truth. Are you claiming you know the truth? I doubt you do.
Did Chris Dodd also get information from experts or was he also involved in Country Wide?
We actually let these two goons make a financial law on top of everything.
The problem here isn't just the private sector or Wallstreet like some seem to bring up, it is also your government.
Believe what you will, this is what happens when a corrupt government gets tangled up in a web of crony Capitalism.
Lets not forget about the money abused by Solyndra and green energy companies as well as others that the government is deeply involved in.
I am not saying Wallstreet isn't a problem here MLU Tiger, I know it may seem that way but too many people ignore government involvement. I also think we are at the level of government growth and corruption, very little investigations into the fall of the economy for instance, I think have entered into very dangerous time period.

 

That's rich. Dodd-Frank is the root of the current econmic mess.

 

The problem is that no one knows the truth and a big reason why is that not a single individual on Wall Street has been held accountable for their actions.

If he didn't get his information from experts, then he was uninformed. That's why they're called "experts".

I don't think that they made any laws. I think that they just presented them and voted on them.

I have yet to see anyone ignore government involvement. I do think it's a mistake to think that Congressmen and Senators run Washington DC. Wall Street runs Washington DC and has for decades and I think that's why they're getting so much focus.

You can change every politician in Washington and you won't change a damn thing because the money will keep flowing in. If you want to eliminate a problem, then you look at the root cause. That's not a handful of politicians who weren't even in office when these issues began. They're biggest mistakes were allowing lax regulations and not holding people accountable for shady accounting practices.

 

Well I don't think we know the whole story and I don't know if the system can be fixed at this point. We need special, independent investigations in pretty much everything. I don't doubt that Corporations, Unions, Wall Street is involved but I still blame government. It takes two to tango and two wrongs don't make a right. The government and politicians didn't have to except the bait but chose too. The government is suppose to make the laws and regulate.
A few examples, the New Orleans Levees and those regulators that put the fix on the oil platform that blew up, regulators who were too busy with porn on their computers instead of doing their jobs.
