Why do those against higher taxes for the rich always assume that those in favor "hate the rich"?
That, more than anything, makes me think these people are asshats and shouldn't be listened to.
Arrington apparently believes that Buffett's op-ed is part of some master plan to make it harder for others to get super rich while making it easier for him to hold on to his wealth. If Arrington truly believes this, he hasn't been listening to what Buffet is saying.
Super rich people should also pay up 30% in taxes instead of 17%. Just taking money from warren buffet is not going to solve any problem. The tax should be for all the rich guys. I dont think the policy is fair which supports rich getting richer and poor getting even poorer.
Increased tax 'revenues' won't do anything to balance the budget, it just offers a little more spending leeway. The problem is spending.
