Class Wars

In the Washington Post, Warren Buffet says:

When you listen to tax-cut rhetoric, remember that giving one class of taxpayer a "break" requires -- now or down the line -- that an equivalent burden be imposed on other parties. In other words, if I get a break, someone else pays. Government can't deliver a free lunch to the country as a whole. It can, however, determine who pays for lunch. And last week the Senate handed the bill to the wrong party.

I have been saying this for awhile (well, not the part where he says he will make millions of dollars a year, but the other), but I figure maybe more people will listen when Warren Buffet says it.

Comments

A lot of people will listen because Buffet said it. Good news that he said it.
