I agree with Warren Buffett when he says, "Billionaires like [him] should pay more taxes". The United States Government seems to think that the “mega-rich” don’t need to be taxed as much because they are doing more investing in the country. Although this may be true, it is still no reason to cut taxes for them. The fact is that we have a national debt of almost 15 trillion dollars and one way to reduce this is increasing the taxes of the super wealthy, who by the way, have more money than they know what to do with. I also agree with the idea that the 12 congressmen who have to reduce the debt by 1.5 trillion should start by cutting taxes for the lower and middle class and seriously increasing the taxes for the top 2% who are super wealthy. I am impressed that Warren Buffett is humble enough to speak out, because the lower and middle class have been saying this same thing for a long now. The truth is it takes one of the richest men in the United States to really be heard.
I liked how you brought up the debt in America that needed to be paid. I also liked the respect you gave to Buffet for speaking out for the super rich.
