Hillary Clinton Talks with Warren Buffett
Jul 2nd, 2007 by Martin Lee
A few days ago, Warren Buffett was at Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign fund raising. There was a short Q & A session at the event during which Buffett shared his views on certain topics including:
US as a net debtor nation, US tax rates and private equity, congress and US tax disparities.
One thing that Warren critized was the US tax rate. For 2006, his own tax rate was 17.7% while the tax rate of his receptionist was 30%. And this is despite the fact that Warren doesn’t have any tax shelter or schemes to reduce his personal tax.
And you wonder why the rich get richer!
