The Buffet Rule

[mrsleeve]

I like how the very wealthy champion of I should be taxed on my "income" more and the rich need to be taxed more. Takes almost No salary for running one of the largest business in the country, just so he can shirk his tax liabilities. Takes most of his compensation in stock options and other "long term investments" so he can lower the bulk of tax burden to the capital gains level.


oh and old country buffet sucks

Oh really? Is mind reading one your long list of skills?

Ummm why would you not take 20m or so in actual compensation for running a business of that size (that happens to be yours as well).


Yeah so you dont have to pay the fucking top tax bracket on most of that money when you can deffer it into "long term investments" so you only have to 15% on it.

Exactly, there are reasons why he's a champion of "tax me more" while avoiding as much as he can. The government takes "donations". Yet he tries his best to avoid that as well.

yeah and I remembering correctly hes fighting the IRS tooth and nail about his 08 check to the feds, because the IRS says it was way too small ???

^What the hell are you guys talking about!! Stick to the thread topic:
It's perfectly fine to keep nearly whole portions of food on the plate if the food sucks. It's a way of showing that the food sucks. But it's not ok to leave it on there if you just got too much to begin with. I'll eat until I hurt if I have to to clean a good plate of food. Now the real question is, how much should one tip at a buffet? I say 10% but I know many that don't tip anything.

I we don't invoke the Warren Buffett "rule" then my fear is that we may soon see the Jimmy Buffett "effect". You know, all those Caribbean islands he likes to sing about where a few super-rich families own pretty much everything on the island and the rest of the natives live in poverty.

there used to be this place in Edmonton called "the Royal Fork Buffet" I ate there one time and essentially urinated through my Anus for the following 4 days. also, it was about the worst buffet I have ever been too.

silver lining? I lost 7 pounds in the 4 days, yay me!
