主题：希拉里·克林顿吃错了什么药？ -- 晨枫
共和党的说法，是超级富豪给社会提供了工作机会，给他们加税，就会打击他们制造工作机会的积极性。
有多少超级富豪是因为税率低而努力赚钱？有多少超级富豪是因为为了赚更多的钱而努力赚钱？又有多少怀着美国梦的人是为了进入超级富豪的税率而努力？还是为了一个奋斗的目标而努力？
Buffet 前一阵出来说话了，国会对象他那样的超级富豪太照顾了，他去年的税率只有17%，意味税制上的漏洞。
现在的问题是，社会差距在拉大，对国会的 approve rate低到百分之十几，民主党共和党之间的分歧也加剧，在这次提升美国国债上限的角斗中简直就是有你没我的态势。很高的民调希望有第三党出来竞选总统。BUFFET知道，大家都HAPPY的美国，超级富豪才能更HAPPY。民主党则要通过保住这些社保功能，尤其是在失业率居高不下的现在，来吸引支持率。
"My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It's time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice,"
Buffett, one of the world's richest men and chairman of conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway Inc , said his federal tax bill last year was $6,938,744.
"That sounds like a lot of money. But what I paid was only 17.4 percent of my taxable income - and that's actually a lower percentage than was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office. Their tax burdens ranged from 33 percent to 41 percent and averaged 36 percent," he said.
"I have worked with investors for 60 years and I have yet to see anyone - not even when capital gains rates were 39.9 percent in 1976-77 - shy away from a sensible investment because of the tax rate on the potential gain," he said
