What Warren Buffett Has really excelled at is exploiting the loopholes in the US tax code. That's why his investment company is set up as an insurance company. He is the lead hypocrite on tax hikes.

Another failed thread by the *******s.


Bill
Our Government spends far more on Corporate welfare, so why do we have poverty? We've been waiting for that whole trickle down thing to happen...

Think by Numbers » Government Spends More on Corporate Welfare Subsidies than Social Welfare Programs

There is no greater contradiction in terms than "compassionate conservatism".
I'm just curious.. What did the elderly and children do before "welfare" was created? (I already know the answer to this)

The parents didn't seem to care about them when she got pregnant why should I?
As for the elderly, do as I am doing, take care of them.

So yes, if you are so low that you hide behind the children and elderly then ....

You do realize that people are welfare are considered low life's right. And you thought I was the only one lol

Yep, ole Buffett with his rail cars are benefiting (making big money) very nicely from Obama refusing to allow the Keystone pipeline. There had to be a handshake between Buffett and Obama. Both say screw people who need jobs.

Sixty-six percent of the federal budget goes to welfare. That's note saying that, that's the liberal CBPP. That's SS, Medicare (Medicaid & CHIP), "Safety Net Programs" and benefits for federal retirees and veterans.

The federal budget for FY 2013 was $3.5 trillion. For the mathematically challenged that's $2.31 trillion every year for the welfare state.

Now it's your turn to put a number on your claim.
