Warren Buffet believes tax rates should be higher. Is that not against his own interests? Very few people will call him out as dumb or misguided.
You may notice that said response does NOT in any way reflect an opinion based on my own self or those I feel fall in to the general category called out in the post I was responding to; positive or negative. I was merely answering the supposition asked and providing a hopefully helpful critical perspective that might be used for self reflection and improvement.
A different reply to my post asked 'who's at fault': which allowed me to expand my opinion and observations to include the general population within the US.
Please do not mis-interpret my meaning or take my words out of their intended limited context with baiting and inflammatory replies that are not designed for a productive and stimulating discussion.
The effects of higher tax rates on Buffet's quality of life are entirely negligible. In the words-ish of Bill Gates: once you're eating $30 hamburgers, the extra money doesn't really do much.
