Is Warren Buffett stretching the truth?

dear unemployed half wit, the topic of this thread is about warren buffett stretching the truth. My facts from the CBO prove that he is. Please let the adults discuss the topic.

Now I know that you resent me because I'm successful and you're a hanger on in this business. I understand that being mentally challenged, you couldn't shift with the business. its ok son, this biz isn't for everyone. just wink out like the rest of your kind. pissing up at me won't get you a job.

In the sales game this strategy is.... If you can't wow them with the facts. Blind them with bullshit.
Mr. Clicks has clearly run successful businesses. And anyone that posts here knows that. What is it you have done that we aren't aware of.

oh look, another unemployed know it all coming in to explain the CBO's numbers are wrong.

son, no matter how much the government takes from your betters, than money will never make it into your hands.

Oh look more lame twists, waahhhhhhh I didn't follow 12cunts rules, what a little bitch..

No Those Numbers Do Not Prove That, you're too damn stupid to understand how any of this works. wow, wow, and wow.. you REALLY are that stupid. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

What a poser, I'm a big daddy, telling mr buffet he's wrong... I'm his upper, what a loser.

and the unemployed monkey continues to throw shit.

no surprise.

I've made a shit ton more than 12cunts and I'm a good bit younger.

I owned Largecash, several other programs, content plugins, we've created technology still in use today, and have been doing this successfully, for 15 years now.

Plenty of others that spank my ass... but not that idiot.

Huh? Yeah I guess I'm unemployed... as in, I haven't worked for someone else in like 15 years?

I know your brain is in backwards, but most of us here are business owners....

We require proof when accusations are made around here. Saying go look it up on the interwebs is not proof. Show clear and concise proof, not hearsay, proof unless you would like a vacation!

ahahaha!

all that brilliance and the only thing you dare name is a parked domain.

yes, son, you're doing great!

Actually Ronald it's 'unemployed know it all' Warren Buffet who has explained your numbers are wrong.
And you prattling on arguing with him about an amount and a tax policy problem that you personally will never reach.

TheDoc keeps pointing out that we have a graduated tax bracket system where we all pay an identical rate on the money we earn at each level of taxation. The guy earning 18K doesn't pay any more or any less than you, me, or Warren buffet on our first 18K and so on up through each bracket. He is correct, though he does a poor job of explaining it.

The simple fact is that the bracket 'tax rates' have become meaningless.
What matters are the actual tax rates people are paying on their income.
When deductions and loopholes allow people to reduce their actual tax rate to the lowest bracket from the highest bracket... Who cares what the brackets are listed at?
An absolute tax rate that capped all deductions and loopholes is a simple and effective fix for the problem.
If the defined bracket was stated instead as 'starting at 35% but never less than 30% regardless of deductions' the gamesmanship would be curtailed and we would begin to have much more meaningful discussions about tax policy because the rates would matter. As it is now, a large percentage of people aren't paying their rate and could care less what it became. If the highest bracket suddenly went to 99% you would still see Warren Buffet paying close to 17% because the bracket has little bearing on his taxation.

dear unemployed know it all.
in the facts below, you'll note that the CBO numbers are "effective tax rates"
for those of you without the intelligence to hold a job, I'll explain that that means "what is actually paid"

When you add up all of the various taxes, and look at the effective tax rates, it is clear the tax system is already pretty progressive. Everyone pays some tax, even those who pay no federal income taxes, and the wealthiest pay a larger percentage share of taxes. Here?s the effective tax rate for all of the groups, according to the CBO:
Lowest quintile (23.4 million taxpayers), zero to $18,900: 4.3 percent
Second lowest quintile (22.4 million), $18,900-$32,100: 10.2 percent
Middle quintile (22.9 million), $32,100-$47,400: 14.2 percent
Fourth quintile (23 million), $47,400-$71,200: 17.6 percent
Highest quintile (23.6 million), above $71,200: 25.8 percent
Top 10 percent (12 million), minimum income of $98,100: 27.5 percent
Top 5 percent (5.9 million), minimum income of $134,400: 29 percent
Top 1 percent (1.1 million), minimum income of $332,300: 31.2 percent

you can tell who's never made money on this board by the amount of myths they believe

Again Ronald, post the numbers for the top .01% and for the top 400

Top 1% is 380K income
Top .01% is 6M income

They have nothing to do with each other

Thanks.

sorry chump, in the world of the unemployed I'm sure you have a point but the top 400 earners paid on average over $45 million dollars each in taxes.
In your pathetic world where you pay ZERO income tax, you'd think you'd have just the tiniest bit of class and intelligence to understand that someone paying $45 million for the same thing you get for free, is most certainly enough.
Its not the top who is the problem, its you, the leeching bottom that is the problem.

So Ronald...

If the 'average' person in the top .01% paid 35%
and someone, or several someones in the top .01% paid 16%
the harm of having a rule that anyone in the top 1% must pay an absolute minimum of 30% would be?
