If he thinks the rich should pay more taxes why doesn't he at least pay what he owes?
Well there is Buffet as a person, and then there are businesses that he is involved in...
I know the lines is being blurred a lot these days, but you do know the difference between an individual and a business, right?
The taxes he owes are less than .5% of his net worth. Pay your effin' bills dude. It's pretty bad when dems back a tax dodger.

They aren't his taxes.
They are taxes that MIGHT be owed by a wholly owned subsidiary of the holding company he manages. Buffet doesn't own Berkshire, it's a public company.
Buffet doesn't owe those taxes, Berkshire Hathaway doesn't owe those taxes, NetJets might owe those taxes....see how that works?
Nah, probably not.

Oh I'm sure you'd see it the same way if it were and oil company.
There may be a debate on raising taxes on rich people but I thought dems at least agreed to pay what you CURRENTLY owed.

No, I wouldn't see it differently. Liberals don't have to make up shit to get pissed about. 
If KBR owed back taxes from 1998, I wouldn't be screaming for Dick Cheney to pay them even though KBR is a subsidiary of Halliburton and Cheney was Halliburton CEO in 1998. That would be stupid. It would have nothing to do with him. I have plenty of actual reasons to hate Cheney, I don't need to create imaginary ones.
Just like people screaming for Buffet to pay taxes for NetJet is now. Stupid, and based on imaginary reasons...or maybe just ignorant ones. Whatever.

The buck stops with the guy in charge and Buffet is pocketing the difference by not pay his fair share in taxes. You'd be an idiot not to see it. The worst part is you'll march in lock step with OWS but when it's your boy you turn a blind eye.
Let's start with this: everyone pay the taxes you currently owe, mmkay?

I have never heard of Bush having any involvement in Haliburton....
But when Buffet is running the country from the number 1 or 2 spot. Then argues to bomb and invade a country because of weapons and weapon technology that he sold to said country against domestic and international sanctions - we can talk....

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

Actually if we're talking about who has to pay their fair share I think NetJets was being unduly punished by whatever tax the IRA erm S was imposing upon only them and not every single airline operating.
