   Maybe their guilt comes for having gamed and manipulating the system so much that the system is totally broken. How easy it is to be successful when one can lobby for loopholes and get freebies for donations. If these people feel guilty, then they need to come clean and leave the rest of us alone. I don’t need them mucking with what I pay in taxes. They have skimmed enough money off the rest of us. And they shouldn’t be encouraging or funding the lazy garbage OWS protesters either.

   buffett and those like him have no intentions of sending in extra money to help pay off the debt! They just flap their jaws to tell us what we need to do? They know that if they did send in extra money, not one penny would go to paying off the debt, just more money for bho’s stash!

   Thank you for posting this. I saw Sen Thune with Greta on Fox this past week and while I remembered the legislation, I couldn’t recall who was proposing it. This seems as easy as it would be for these puds to just send in a check, but in typical leftistproglibtard fashion, they’d rather bellyache, grandstand and try to force everybody else to share in their suffering by paying higher taxes. So I’m sure the Dimbeciles will find hundreds or thousands of reasons to diss it or mangle it beyond recognition.

   It is, in fact, so simple that the rest of us peasants, even the ones who don’t pay taxes but file returns to get all the tax credit goodies, can choose to participate just as the Buh-fay rich do and earmark at least $1 of their ill-gotten bounty to pay some of it back–gotta make sure there’s some left for next year’s tax credits.

   I think they should add an amendment requiring anybody who advocates raising other people’s taxes to remit half of their total net worth per instance – including any money they’ve parked with Bill Gates to avoid taxes.

   Buffett is already working as hard as he can to pay his “fair share” but he is tied up with the IRS who who are tying up that $1B in back taxes that Buffett would otherwise give to the government. Damn bureaucracy!

    How about a Relocation donation box?

    It’ll cost the donators, but worth the trip.

    We can make Hollywood a sanctuary city for the homeless and for Occupiers.

    They have so much money, and so few causes to support.

    Maybe Angelina Jolie or Madonna can adopt a few.

    Speaking of money….

    A top Republican in Washington dramatically altered his stance on protesters involved in Occupy Wall Street just one week after comparing the movement to “angry mobs”. Eric Cantor, the Republican majority leader in the House of Representatives, told Fox News on Sunday that Republicans agreed there was “too much” income disparity in the country. “More important than my use of the word [‘mobs’] is that there is a growing frustration out there across the country and it is warranted. Too many people are out of work,” he said. linky

    I know no one here is fooled by Warren Buffet, but just to state the obvious, Warren is trying to buy future benefit. Basically, he is investing now to reap a return in the future. Just like Immelt, who curried favour with government, influenced government policy and then made products designed to satisfy said policy.

    Well, they are right. There is.

    However, the Democrats are completely wrong about what causes long term increases in income disparity. It is not ‘greedy capitalists.’

    Increasing income disparity is caused by uncertainty and regulation and taxation and corruption (all by greedy and power hungry Big Government/Democrat types who bash capitalism allied with morally corrupt Big Business types who cut deals with the Democrats) that chokes off competition, thereby putting a big drag on upward mobility.

    Taxing producers to give more money to the less/non productive does not decrease income disparity. It increases it over time.

    Careful there. The Dems may just decide that anybody who owns a boat is rich enough to go dump their cash and impose the Howell rule.

    John Deaux #27,

    If you`ll think back to Bush`s tax cuts for everyone who filed an income tax return, the dems screamed that it was “tax cuts for the rich” ! Since the cuts were for “everyone”, by extension, the dems think everyone who earned enough to file a tax return is “rich”.

    This just in: Eric Cantor decides there’s too much water disparity between the headwaters and the mouth of the Mississippi. Proposes water tax for New Orleans and “unearned water credits” for Minneapolis.

    “We in the Republican establishment will not rest until the Mississippi is as level and unmoving as a lake.” Cantor is quoted as having said (by me).

    “And once we have the Mississippi’s waters equitably redistributed, we’re going after Niagara Falls.”

    Where do you draw the line? Even some “conservatives” used to criticize Saddam Hussein for living in 27 castles while his people lived in mud huts. The Iraq war was probably all about class envy because Bush only had the Whitehouse and Saddam had 27 castles.

    Warren and all you guilt ridden daddy warbucks guys; just fill out your taxes on the 1040ez short form, you will pay more, I promise. Fire your accountants, fill out the top line in your 1040ez labelled income, and send it in to the IRS, and they will tell you exactly how much your taxes are.
