> No hard feelings at all… I just want to know how you would argue with one of the most brilliant investors in the country, who is saying that the super rich need to be taxed more.

Your over generalizing his point. He released his tax return. He said he grossed 62 mil last year and after deductions paid 6.9 mil in taxes…

#1 he only grossed 62 mil??? really?  
#2 He wasnt totally wrong, but he wasnt proposing anything like the Obamanation the Obama administration wants… he was talking billionaires… not $250k and up.

Plus, when I have a fat pay day, I treat alot of people to alot of shit. Man gave 15 Billion to Gates Foundation… he coulda gave it the the Feds toward debt… theres a button for that on the IRS website. Thankfully,he still has choices.
