BTW, Buffett is lying when he says his secretary pays 32% in federal income tax on an income of 60K. Even if she is single with no deductions, the most she paid was 19%.
Exactly!! Buffett was lying. And yet---NO reporter called on him to PROVE his claim. Another gripe of mine----reporters who let people who make such outlandish claims off the hook by NOT challenging them.
