Under a TOTAL Democratic control early in Obama's presidency, Warren Buffet spent $2.5 Million lobbying for tax breaks for private jet owners. A private jet company that Buffet owns chipped in another $1.5 Million. The Democrats obliged and Buffet's company has saved by some estimates hundreds of millions of dollars.

I am sure liberal celebrities that Democrats love need private jets and private jet rentals being cheaper so they can whisk off to a "Green save the earth summit" somewhere.

The tax breaks are starting to phase out this year, but Buffet is lobbying again for these tax breaks.

Since Buffet has been vocal about wanting to pay more taxes, should the GOP oblige him and increase the taxes on these jets to offset the previous Democrat tax breaks for private jet owners that he himself helped put in place?
