Buffett Boosts Own Morale with Hypocrisy

There is only one way to get these mega billionaires to shut their pie holes. Introduce a wealth tax of 100% of all holdings over 10 million dollars. It is enough to provide for them the rest of their lives and would put a kibosh on their stupid, boring, and destructive ideas. I never want to hear another word from Buffet. This would help. No one would want to listen to him if he were not a billionaire.

Leftards really got YOUR number didn't they? They even have you thinking you're "brilliant" for doing exactly what they wanted all along.

Our dear leader's attack on the wealthy has apparently taken a stranglehold on you and a few others on this blog. You could tax the "wealthy" at 100% of their wealth and it still won't solve the massive spending problem this country has. If the GOP decides to cave in and go with obama's plan there will be virtually little difference between those ultimate results and the results of us going over the fiscal cliff.

Once again genius, how are you going to calculate wealth?

And your arbitrary 10 million figure is stupid. Remember that Elton John said that he can't live on less than 2 million a month. But he earns that doesn't he? You're a taker and jealous of anyone with more than you. You want shared misery and poverty for everyone. Why not expatriate?

I was being facetious. My scenario would never happen, and Buffet will not shut up.

The government revised upward its initial reading of third quarter GDP from 2 percent to 2.7 percent in a move that was widely expected by economists.

And everyone said “yawn.”

That’s because the GDP growth was more government puffery. The increase was borrowed or freshly minted money. The government merely accelerated spending, filing one hole, while digging another- deeper- hole, in Obama’s latest 60-year-same-as-cash financing offer.  

At least that’s what the markets have felt apparently- reacting with shrug to another wave of “good” news coming out of the government about how great things are for the folks back...
