[Billionare Warren] Buffett has called on US politicians to impose higher taxes on his fellow wealthy Americans, who he says are currently indulged with an unfairly generous tax regime. Writing in the New York Times on Monday, Buffett argued that the richest members of US society are not making a fair contribution to repairing the country's finances."While the poor and middle class fight for us in Afghanistan, and while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks," wrote Buffett, whose personal fortune was estimated at $50bn (£30bn) by Forbes this year.
So, poor people, please, when you start your Mexican revolution against the haciendas, remember that Warren Buffet is on your side.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
P.S. I think I told you, didn't I, that there is a relative in my ancestry - an American - who lost his hacienda and his life to that revolution? He was a liquor magnate. Everybody agreed he treated his hacienda laborers exceptionally well and was a great man. But, remember, Warren, revolutions tend to roll over everyone.
