Too bad that Buffet doesn't earn income, or if he does, not a lot. You can tax millionaires and billionaires at 100% of income, and you won't get even half of their money

Buffet only takes about $100K as his "salary".
The ultra rich know how to hedge their money and pay as little as possible in taxes.
And they are not breaking the law either. It's all well within the tax guidelines.
