Default Buffett hasn't changed his tune

I found this thread from a few years ago. It is Warren Buffett saying what he has said recently about taxes. It is funny to me that today when he says it it's because he is pro Obama or something.

Yes and he is still correct. It was ridiculous and stupid for the taxes to keep being lowered while escalating wars. Like it was almost a set-up to ruin social security and medicare.

He has always had the choice and ability to pay more taxes. If he's so adamant about it, I wonder if he's actually chosen to do so?


I'm betting not. I'm betting he uses every ****ing possible loophole for him to pay LESS taxes.

Oddly though, he still seems to have not found a cure for the paralysis of his check-writing hand, which if it but functioned, could so quickly ease his concern.
