Ya uhh... that IS the point of the article. STOP with the loopholes that the super rich use to dodge taxes! I'm unsure your point, you seem to be arguing with what you agree with.
and the poor/middleclass use the EXACT SAME tax codes (loopholes)
If he wants them to stop all he has to do is STOP USING THEM!!!!!! The man is a raging hypocrite.
That makes no sense. If he stops using loopholes that will close them so no one can? No way other super-richers would follow suit by his example. Hypocrite or not, you're shooting the messenger.
By claiming only 100k for salary. He does this to get out from under the income taxes that we would be paying if he didn't do this.
It's perfectly legal.

He takes advantage of every loophole he can. Why does he do this if he thinks he should be paying more?
Because it's legal, and his argument isn't that "he" should pay more, it is that "people like him" should pay more.
I don't get it. I could've sworn you were a Tea Partier, and Tea Partiers have consistently argued that eliminating these deductions and loopholes for the rich is "killing jobs" and "raising taxes", and generally a bad thing.

He shouldn't be the messenger. He evades as much taxes as possible and always will. Also, it makes a ton of sense, why is he using those loopholes if he thinks he shouldn't be? That is the very definition of a hypocrite.

I'm talking about the mega hypocrite Buffet, not me or anyone else. If this asswipe thinks he should be paying more, WHY ISN'T HE?!?!?!?!?!

What makes no sense is you said "If he wants them to stop all he has to do is STOP USING THEM!!!!!!" That will only stop him from using loopholes, but they will still be used by everyone else who has the opportunity.
Regardless, you're shooting the messenger and ignoring the message.
Because he wants your average artsy latte drinking liberal to believe raising taxes on the rich will actually do something when, in fact, people like Buffet will see little to no difference in their tax bill but it will hurt the "rich" that make $100k a year or more. It's all a big ruse, and the liberal always falls for it, hook, line, and sinker
Think about this logically for a minute.
If Warren Buffett argues for tax changes to the richest Americans that would not affect the taxes they pay...well, what's the point? Why would he be taking such a nonsense position?
yep the first partial audit showed that bernaki and bush/obama gave 16 trillion in secret bailouts
but sanders knew that, since he was part of that globalist liberal crowd....Bernie Sanders sold out and sided with Chris Dodd to gut Audit the Fed in the Senate
I see no point in debating the issue with you until you delete your post where you took the liberty or changing the words of my post. Delete it or fix it so that it clearly shows that these are your word changes and not mine and save me the hassle of contacting a MOD.

He's the one saying that he should be paying more! WHY ISN'T HE? It's a simple question that he needs to be asked. All he is saying is, "do as I say, not as I do". It's the typical elitist MO. He advocates raising taxes on people making over 1 million. It won't effect him, because he cheats the system by paying himself only 100k, while he hides his real money from the tax collector.
