I simply suggest we have a fair tax system. A tax system designed to address the intended role of government as defined in our Constitution. There are many reasons why people struggle, in many cases government makes the struggle harder. Health care is example of that, there are many threads on health care so I won't go into that here. The differences are clear between Democrats and Republicans, even if leaders of both parties have a tendency to think the answer to our problems will come from Washington, Democrats are much more extreme and Obama has never discussed a problem that did not have a big government solution.
I respect Buffet as a business person and as a person who will use his wealth for good after he dies. Other than that he is a ruthless business man who does and says what is in his interest. Some of the recent deals he has made clearly illustrates that. He is a person that will not pay a dime more in taxes than he chooses to pay, and in the end his wealth will not go to government, he has carefully selected the charities he wants his wealth to go to. If he really had faith in big government he would leave his money to the IRS, he is not doing that.
