GF, it was a nice break although too short as always. Hope yours was the same.

Why would I comment on the some cherry picked tax fact? Its of zero importance to me. What is important to me is the specter of higher income tax rates that will directly impact my business. Not to mention the regulations such as the one I learned about today that will cost me $6K to demonstrate that systems we have been safely operating for the last 15 years will not cause some obscure arc flash to occur. That is but one of hundreds of examples of needless regulations that are killing small business.

GF, the main reasons that Buffett's effective tax rate is lower than his secretary is because most of his income comes from long-term capital gains and tax free bonds and hers is from her regular income, not to mention the fact that he spends millions on attorneys and accountants to reduce or eliminate his taxes. I am all for him doing so but he should just shut his mouth about needing higher taxes and stop being a hypocrite. If he thinks he doesn't pay enough in taxes why not just stop fighting the federal government and pay them the $1B he owes going back to 2002?!?!? Because he is a liberal hypocrite and frankly I could care less what he says. In a normal world he would be called out for his blatant hypocrisy but the media is dominated by left wing nuts so their ability to think critically is non-existent.
