Apparently you don't know ****, which is fine except you are preaching about what you think you know. Warren Buffet plays plenty of taxes. Don't confuse arguments being made about his overall tax rate or tax burden with him not paying any taxes.

From http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/mon...cle1996735.ece
"Mr Buffett said that he was taxed at 17.7 per cent on the $46 million he made last year"

You bring the phrase "pay no taxes" into a whole new realm.

That is why you need someone with a clue, like Alex Jones, to point out what is REALLY going on.
Actually Alex Jones needs you more, rebels without a clue who will bit at any conspiracy theory and raise their fist in protest from the comfort of their own keyboard. He needs people like you to stay relevant and to make money, laughing all the way to the bank.

You shouldn't believe everything you hear.



I watched some of his videos yesterday. Alex Jones is a complete idiot who doesn't know anything about Wall Street.

If you want to know what is going on, go listen to Paul McCulley or David Rosenberg or Gary Shilling or Barry Ritholtz... somebody with a clue.
Yeah, Clete, watch nothing but liberals so you can keep your thoughts in control. I don't watch Jones, either, but I do think I can handle him more than the ones you suggest.

What makes these people liberals?

just because someone is talking about things you don't understand doesn't necessarily make them a liberal, roy.

if you laugh when you read or listen to David Rosenberg, I'm not sure what to tell you. The dude has a rather dry sense of humor.. same with Shilling.

Oh yeah baby ... Shill-ing ... he's got a clue

From Gary Shilling: How To Invest In The Age Of De-Leveraging Page 2 of 2 - Forbes.com

"In contrast, I offer 10 investment sectors worth favoring, a group that includes Treasury bonds. Long-time Forbes readers recall my statement, "We're entering the bond rally of a lifetime," in the early 1980s when the 30-year Treasury yielded 15.25%. That rally is still intact as 30-year yields head for 3% and 10-year yields for 2% amidst slow economic growth, deflation and Treasurys' global appeal as safe havens. I also like securities with high, reliable and growing cash return--think dividend stocks."

Treasury Bonds? And Treasury's global appeal as safe havens? Deflation?

This guy is either flat out of his mind -c r a z y- or his name matches what he is doing ... Shill -- ing for Wall Street and the FED.

Treasury securities have about as much "global appeal" as the bubonic plague today, which is why the Gangsters at the FED have been monetizing the debt. And deflation? Fat chance .... try hyperinflation, or stagflation .... deflation will only occur with specific items that are discretionary, as these purchases will be avoided in order to pay for the inflating prices on necessities .... Food, Energy, and basic must have items will continue to rise because of the devaluation of the currency.

And this is one reason why the inflation calculation omits food and energy in it's figures. Figures.

ok, great example. that's from December 1 2010. if you bought the long term treasury ETF on the day he wrote that article, right now you'd be up 23%.

There are many pundits fretting about inflation. Pay no attention to them. The continuing $1 trillion federal deficit reflects private sector weakness, poor tax collections and heavy outlays required to combat unemployment. Don't count on the $2 trillion excess bank reserves created by Bernanke's QE1 and QE2 to cause inflation; the banks still arent lending. They're still smarting from the losses of the loose-lending days and they are facing tighter regulation. Bankers only want the most creditworthy borrowers, but corporate worthies are loaded with cash and solvent consumers are busy paying off debt.
