Lol, so he is the only philanthropic person in the country? Philanthropy should exclude you from the tax system? Of course Buffet is a hypocrit, he won't even pay what he owes.

Do you not know the difference between Buffet and Berkshire Hathaway?

People and companies argue against the taxes they owe constantly. Companies like Amazon owe 50% more, and you aren't whining about about all of them. People debate their taxes as well, like Sarah Palin...shouldn't she pay what she owes?

LOL, Buffet is Berkshire Hathaway. You haven't been paying attention to the debate. Buffet laments he pays too little in taxes because of the 15% capital gains tax. He owns shares in Berkshire, he is an owner, so when Bershire's owners don't pay their corporate tax, it is the fault of their owners, including Buffet.

Buffet can't have it both ways, he either pays his taxes or shuts up.

their yammering!
Of course all they have to do is start writing checks, hell if Buffet
was half serious why does he not send several MILLION
along with OPERA??

Obama could QUIT his travels and stop spending so much on his wife's BLING
and mail that in as well

You kinda havta fix the TAX laws first to get those who earn millions a year to pay more in taxes.
And this is why no one takes loudmouth liberals seriously. You CAN pay more than what the tax code allows. The IRS will USE THAT MONEY TO REDUCE THE DEBT.

Buffett owes a lot of tax money to the government that hasn't been paid in years. The best way to cancel that debt is to side with obama on his tax hike, then all of his tax debt simply goes away...
