dtroutma —""Warren Buffet, who calls for higher taxes for the rich is also an investment dude, and he and Bill Gates the richest in the world, see the need, and responsibility to share what they’ve got."".In a word Mr. Trout “bull”. ALL of them are taking care of themselves and ANY pretense otherwise is in error. The Koch brothers, as a percentage of wealth, give just as much or more to philanthropic endeavors as does Mr. Gates, and Mr. Buffet, as a percentage of wealth gives nearly nothing. .Mr. Buffets claims of raising taxes on the wealthy were based on providing ‘dodges’ for those same taxes for re-investment in economic growth. He was NOT trying to pay MORE he was trying to pay LESS in taxes while merely sounding like he wanted to help. At the very same time he made that statement he was taking the IRS to federal court to avoid paying taxes he owed. Don;t confuse the rhetoric of the lapdog media for facts.
