I do not perceive hypocrisy. As I said, personal taxes are different from corporate. I forgot to post this before. It has occurred to me if he and Bill Gates are so anxious for additional personal income taxes being higher on the wealthy, why not he and Mr. Gates write a check to the Treasury Department for wh**ever amount they feel they should pay? Why require others, who may not be like minded, pay more?
The billionaires are the ones so anxious to always spend someone else's money. And, Buffet saying his secretary paid more in taxes than he did, is to me insulting. It only proves, the common man gets the shaft, while the rich fly high with all their deductions and accountants. Now, maybe what they pay their accountants to get them out of paying taxes, were added to their taxes - it may well amount to more than what his secretary paid.
