Do you think Buffett's Secretary Debbie Bosanek is also lying when she says she has a 35% tax rate?

Why is Buffet lying and what do you think his objective is?
perhaps because warren buffet is pushing an agenda? and i seriously doubt that buffets secretary makes enough to get into the 35% tax range.

Capital gains taxes are how CEO's pay taxes on their personal income, and the capital gains tax rate is around 15%.

So non-CEO Americans who make $400,000+ a year are in a 39% tax bracket.
And CEO's who make millions of dollars a year are in a 15% tax bracket.

CEOs get a pay package, that includes a salary, that is taxes at the higher rates, and stock options that are taxed at the capital gains rate WHEN THOSE OPTIONS ARE SOLD AND NOT BEFORE. they also get bonuses taxed at the higher rate, as well as a number of other benefits that are also taxed at the higher rate. do some research and dont listen to what the politicians tell you because the politicians are generally wrong because they have an agenda to push.

But your above post clearly shows that your intentions here are not to keep Americas long lived gun history alive. Rather your intentions are a republican victory in 2014 (just as your above post clearly shows.)

These gun grabber threads are not about keeping gun rights, they are about getting republicans more votes.

You need to get your mind out of this left/right crap. You have become a tool of the left and that makes you nothing more than a fool. Try thinking for yourself, not what some political party want's you to think. It will set you free and you won't be so ignorant on so many levels.

It was not a news story. It was a "buffet opinion" story and it isn't true.

Yes. Secretaries don't pay 35%.

Hell, that is nothing really. The liberals have ruined this country to the extreme. If a kid even draws a gun on paper, or carves one out of a piece of fruit he will be suspended or even arrested. Thanks to liberal policies.

Do you ever stop and think you may have a pro-gun hysteria?
Does that include zero tolerance for education and common sense?
