Buffet Bitchslaps Barack !

Yep; the Oracle of Omaha, Warran Buffet thinks Obama's jobs plan and tax hikes on Americans is bad policy....

This is funny stuff; afterall Obama has been calling his plan the "Buffet Rule."

Buffet thinks only the Uber-Wealthy should pay more in taxes; Obama wants middle class Americans to "pay their fair share"............Obama plans to raise taxes on those hoseholds making more than $50,000/year...

Buffet says Obama's tax plan is destructive economic policy and thinks only households making more than $50 million/year ...............


More Obama phonytales to follow....... !

You can't even quote your own link correctly. Buffet said the tax should apply tp about 50k people. Not people making 50k. Good lord.

Thanks guys, for saving me the time to read it
Nice attempt to confuse and distort what Buffet actually said: here is the quote (4th paragraph for you Obama dumbies):

"Later on CNBC, Buffett said if it were up to him, people earning $50 million would not see any tax increases, only people who “make a lot of money and pay a very low tax rate, like me.”

Good lord you can't even intelligently counter printed words..

Go back to remedial classes and the short bus BigTex, WTF and Waverunner !

You guys are so predictable when it comes to the facts - you lie and distort your way around them.
You can't even quote My Thread correctly (dumbass)!

My OP says Obama's tax plan will apply to those households making $50 K and more;

The ABC News article clearly states Buffet believes only a tax on the urber wealthy is appropriate = those making $50 million or more.............alot of day light between Buffet and Obam's Buffet Rule !!!!!



Your a dumbshit WTF; can't read english i guess.

You guys are so predictable when it comes to the facts - you lie and distort your way around them. You are so predictable when you get caught lying. Claim the other side is lying, produce statements that have nothing to do with the subject matter being questioned in an attempt to confuse people and divert attension from your lie.

It isn’t [my idea] to have the rich pay more taxes. It’s to have the ultra-rich pay more,” he said, according to The Hill. “What I’m talking about would probably apply to 50,000 people in the country.”

So WTF was correct. You were wrong........again.

Fundamentally, Obama’s so called “Buffett Rule” would raise taxes on millionaires ($250,000 =’s $1,000,000: “fuzzy math”?) making $250,000 and more. Buffet, on the other hand, is clarifying his original statement made some weeks ago, by explaining he thinks the “ultra-rich” – those making more than $50 million per year in investment income – should have their taxes raised. Yeah, there’s a lot of daylight between what Buffett says he meant and what Obama is saying.

“Illustrating Obama's populist pitch on taxes, he also suggested that Congress establish a minimum tax on taxpayers making $1 million or more in income. The measure – the White House calls it the "Buffett Rule" for billionaire investor Warren Buffett – is designed to prevent millionaires from taking advantage of lower tax rates on investment earnings than what middle-income taxpayers pay on their wages.”

The LA Times says Buffet did not comment on the Obama plan. He said what his position was on the numbers he had quoted earlier.

“More than anything, while interviewed on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, he took a pass on commenting on Obama’s plan at all.”

IB: they only comprehend what they want to hear !

Even when Buffet rebukes Obama's Buffet Rule; these zombies march onward moaning "Busssshhhhhh's Faaaaaauuuuulllllt".

Warren Buffet is Obama's boss! He's just one of Obama's masters. A puppeteer who pulls the strings of Obama. When Buffet comes out and says, "tax me harder," thats all just a bunch of bullshit. Then media is meant to catch him saying such a statement! It's meant to be played on the news because he's not the one who's going to be getting taxed harder. It's you! It's going to be a tax on millionaires and the middle class who don't have the protection that Buffet has, and aren't as financially astute. It helps if your one of the people writing the tax code so you know all the loopholes. Or if your one of the few people getting your piece of the banker bail out money.

Your latest post is bullshit too.

If they don't hear something they want to, they don't comprehend anything?

I believe that is the best description of you I have ever heard.

As far as a rebuke goes, you're wrong about that too. Look up the meaning of the word.

If you want see a zombie who blames everything on a president, look in the mirror. It's OK. Vampires can't see their own reflections. Zombies can. But with their focus on a single subject, eating brains for them and obsessing without a brain about the president for you, "they only comprehend what they want to hear".
