    Not until he pays back the $ he stole from Americans, restores the freedoms he removed from The Constitution, and brings his 500,000+ murder victims back to life.

    Not holding my breath.

    So pathetic and predictable, this is too easy to even be fun anymore.

    But, it is my duty to call out absolute and utter stupidity, idiocy and ridiculousness. It is a thankless job, but I carry on.

    Most people use their brains, and with better results.

    Most people who have any worthwhile knowledge or experience to share about the economy or finances in general, can spell Warren Buffett's name correctly simply from memory.

    Calling him a moron, or stupid, is like saying Magic Johnson couldn't play basketball. It makes you look foolish.

    Your IQ, while infinitesimal, is glaringly apparent.

    Relax most people have spelling errors Anthony Weiner, lol. Nice try.

    Yeah I want to have an advanced statistical discussion but barfo's too busy deepthroating buffett and not bothering to validate his stance.

    Nothing wrong with some good old fashioned trash talk.

    Or sweet whisperings, depending on who you are.

    Trash talking is fine but you need to stop the insults. You can insult me but you're not allowed to insult our beloved S2 members.

    I'm not insulting anyone. What are you trying to say?

    Public figures are fair game btw.

    You're ignoring (or deliberately concealing) the yearly interest that would accumulate each and every year into eternity on that 10% if it was not reduced.

    So if instead all 3m millionaires paid $50,000 more (1 time only) it would accomplish the same thing without really causing ANY serious financial harm to anybody.

    Or if all 400 billionaires made a one time payment of 375 million it would accomplish the same thing without really causing ANY serious financial harm to anybody.

    If you combine the two we're on our way to solvency in no time and those fat cats will quickly recoup their payments through the revitalized business activity it would no doubt produce.

    In the end we would have a complete economic recovery without having to raise taxes on anyone who is not already set for life.

    Wow talk about misleading. The deficit this year alone was 1.7 trillion.....

    No we wouldn't, you could tax USA billionaires 100% of their profits and it would not get us out of bankruptcy.

    You have no point. I address Bush's responsibility only when yourself and others deny it first.

    You need to let your fantasy go and move on.

    Well you're clearly dodging the empirical aspect of his posts.

    As of March 2011, Forbes says there are 1210 billionaires in the world, their combined net worth is $4.5T, or enough to fund the deficit for three years or pay off about 1/4th of the national debt.

    That's in the entire world, not just the USA.

    I am using Denny Crane's numbers, but I suspect they are in the ballpark.

    You must be relying on the S2 mathchecker.

    No we wouldn't WHAT?

    I said nothing about taxing "profits", and you can't get out of something you aren't in. The US is nowhere near the realm of being in danger of bankruptcy.
