Warren Buffet May Owe A Billion Dollars In Back Taxes
2011-10-14
Obama's favorite billionaire isn't quite ready to practice what he preaches.

Funny thing is, it turns out Buffett was being... shall we say... disingenuous when he claimed his "leaders" never got around to asking for his "shared sacrifice." His company, Berkshire Hathaway, has been fighting the IRS tooth and nail to avoid paying its federal tax bill for nearly a decade.

How much of the State's rightful money has this hypocrite been clutching in a white-knuckled death grip? Oh, only about a billion dollars or so.

#9  #8 Perhaps he considers donations to the Obama campaign to be the equivelant of taxes.

You may have something there Richard. We all know Obama considers contributions to his campaigns as justification for future gratuity and remuneration. I can clearly see the logic.

#5  Precisely Bobby! Warren (like the rest of us)knows that if he paid up, Obama and the congress would simply hand the dough over to Pakistan, the Soodies, or the food stamp crowd.

Bottom line: Warren is our friend!

#4  But lookit all the jobs! Buffet's tax guys, IRS tax guys, attorneys writing letters, secretaries filing them, post office and delivery services, cab drivers, four-star restaraunts, wine shoppes, BMW and Audi dealers, mechanics, gas stations, dog-walkers, and the list goes on!

If Warren just paid, like you and me, thousands of folks would be unemployed!

#3  Warren and BH, always keenly on the lookout for a discount, are patiently awaiting 999.

#2  If you owe the tax-man a hundred bucks, you've got a problem. If you owe the tax-man a billion bucks, they've got a problem.

#1  You can't talk about Saint Warren that way. Father Obama will ensure you swing for this!
