‘Just Common Sense’: Obama Renews Call for Buffett Rule

President Barack Obama renewed his call Saturday for passage of the so-called Buffett rule, calling it “just common sense,“ not ”class warfare.”
The Buffett rule, named after billionaire investor Warren Buffett, entered the lexicon last year after Buffett penned an op-ed in the New York Times encouraging Congress to raise taxes on the wealthy. Under the proposed plan, scheduled for a Senate vote April 16, those making more than $1 million annually would pay at least 30 percent of their income in taxes.
“When it comes to paying down the deficit and investing in our future, should we ask middle class Americans to pay even more at a time when their budgets are already stretched to the breaking point?” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. “Or should we ask some of the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share?”
Encouraging listeners to tell their members of Congress to “stop giving tax breaks to people who don’t need them,” Obama returned to Buffett’s secretary, long held up as paying a higher tax rate than her billionaire boss.
“Some people call this class warfare. But I think asking a billionaire to pay at least the same tax rate as his secretary is just common sense,” Obama said. “We don’t envy success in this country. We aspire to it. But we also believe that anyone who does well for themselves should do their fair share in return, so that more people have the opportunity to get ahead – not just a few.”
He continued, “In America, our story has never been about what we can do by ourselves – it’s about what we can do together. It’s about believing in our future and the future of this country.

He’s trying to present the free market (which we don’t have, but should) and individual isolationism as synonymous, but they aren’t.
In a free market, we all benefit from the lower prices and better quality of products that come from the freedom to compete with others; But this requires that everyone is choosing the individual economic path that’s best for themselves, without interference from the state.

Regarding Warren Buffet, the only reason his tax bracket isn’t 50% is because he gives 99% of his income to charity.

#2- Buffett’s secretary makes at least $250.000 per year, and I’m sure ALSO pays CGT.
#3- Under current IRS laws Buffett and all other guilt ridden Liberals are free to send as much extra tax money to the IRS as they want!
#4- Enacting the ‘Buffett Rule’ would only lower the deficit a FRACTION of a percent. Besides Oblamer would just spend that extra ca$h anyway !

Posted on March 31, 2012 at 11:35amI agree! PLEASE Mr. President, tell the American people how much revenue you gain from taxing millionaires? He won’t!! Why? “While the plan would force millionaires and billionaires to part with more of their money, Congress’ Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that if enacted, legislation reflecting Obama’s proposal would collect $47 billion through 2022 — a trickle compared with the $7 trillion in federal budget deficits projected during that period.”(AP @Yahoo 3/31) He lies and distorts everything he says and his followers eat it up and show ignorance to facts. But I have come to expect that from the progressive communists in this country and in this administration.

Posted on March 31, 2012 at 9:46amNews flash Mr. President, we already have a Buffet Rule in place, it’s called the Alternative Minimum Tax. For high income earners it takes the income after deduction, and adds back all itemized deductions, all mortgage interest from loans not used to buy your principal residence. You then multiply this higher income level against a standardized rate, and if that tax is higher than your 1040 says, then you pay the AMT. The only thing that may need tweaking is the rate. Why can we not just be honest about things?

It is unbelievable to me the things that he has the audacity to do in an election year.All of it detrimental to our country.
This President has unleashed the worst of the worst in our nation. I do not think it is by accident.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through the aleys,heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears NOT a traitor;he speaks in accents familiar to his victims,and he wears their face and their arguments,he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the heart of ALL men. He ROTS the soul of a nation,he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city,he infects the body politics so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. the traitor is the PLAGUE.”

Posted on March 31, 2012 at 9:48amYou speak the truth. Also, extending a tax cut is not lowering taxes, nor is letting one expire raising taxes. We subsidize Apple, they are making record profits, they are worth $500,000,000,000!! They use child labor in an Asian plant where women work 11 hour days 16 days in a row. Where’s the outrage from Democrats on this one?
