THIS IS IT IN A NUTSHELL.

Buffett Blames Congress for Romney's 15% Rate


Warren Buffett, the billionaire calling for more taxes on the rich, said Mitt Romney's U.S. tax rate of about 15 percent reflects poor laws rather than failings by the candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.

"It's the wrong policy to have," Buffett told Bloomberg Television's Betty Liu in an interview today. "He's not going to pay more than the law requires, and I don't fault him for that in the least. But I do fault a law that allows him and me earning enormous sums to pay overall federal taxes at a rate that's about half what the average person in my office pays."

Buffett, chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/A) , supports Democratic President Barack Obama and said Congress needs to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans to close the budget deficit. Romney has agreed to release his 2010 tax return tomorrow, under pressure from Republican opponents, after saying he pays about 15 percent. Romney co- founded Boston-based private-equity firm Bain Capital LLC.

"He makes his money the same way I make my money," Buffett said. "He makes money by moving around big bucks, not by straining his back or going to work and cleaning toilets or whatever it may be. He makes it shoving around money."

Not sure what happened with your original to my dupe, but I feel as if I owe you an apology anyway! So, sorry.

Cheers!

I have no idea. There are no siftbot votes for sifters to "reclaim." There are no comments for discarding it - not by siftbot, nor by me.

I'm not going to worry about it.

I loved the gingerbread You were with some distinguished company there! I think that Pollock, Mondrian, and dotdude were the three most successful projects, with an honourable mention to Rousseau.

I had thought of a neat art project.


Make an acrylic working toilet, fill the front end of the reservoir tank with a valid goldfish tank setup, so that you can see it swimming around and at the back end of the tank is a Mario Brother style Sewer pipe, not apparent to the user the water source is not the fish environment.


It could either be a neat display on a working toilet or a way of studying human dynamics.
