It must have taken Warren Buffett, one of the richest men in the world, a lot of courage to speak out on the issue of the lack of taxes that the super rich in the US pay. I agree with him because even though the "super rich" provide money for the country through investements in major companies, they should pay a hefftier amount in tax dollars. I also agree that Congress should reduce the taxes on the poor and middle class because they are having a hard time as it is trying to make ends meet at home. A high amount of taxes is the last thing that they need. I believe that if the "super rich" did pay more in taxes, that the United States would begin to remove the debt that they have collected. The fact that Mr. Buffett is willing to do this to help the country is incredibly generous. He also seems like he doesnt want to see his country become even more in debt in the future. It also seems that he wants some of the "super rich" to experience a little bit of what the majority of the country experiences, paying a high tax amount.
Yeah I agree on how he's not only trying to get a point across but also trying to help.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the main point of Alexes opinion except for the part about Buffett wanting the super rich to expirience a high tax amount. I believe he simply wnats a tax amount that is reasonable for their income
