Why do democrats so desperately strive to oppress the wealthy, and bleed them dry then? Oh, but Buffett isn't breaking any laws, so he's ok??? If Obama gets to the White House, are all the tax increase laws he passes going to have clauses that excuse democratic supporters like Buffett??
You can't pick and choose who you persecute with taxation. This is completely hypocritical.

obviously, you DON'T get it
the rich guy pays what he has to pay under the present system
the rich guy recognizes that the tax burden is disproportionately placed upon the least affluent when taxes actually paid are measured against total income
the rich guy says we should revise the system so other rich guys, him included, should have to pay a fair share
but the rich guy, following Judge Learned Hand's admonition, does not now pay more than he has to - because until the system changes - he doesn't have to
that should not be difficult to follow ... why do i anticipate you will still be unable to "get it"
