TIME: Warren Buffett Says To Senator McConnell "Put Up or Shut Up"
I've admired Warren Buffett for what he's saying to Congress about the tax code. I do think that those with wealth should pay their fair share to help the country, if not for the national debt, then for the services that we all use. No, I'm not talking about socialism...I give those who earned their wealth credit - I want to be wealthy like them...
But in this latest battle between Senator Mitch McConnell and Buffett, the senator chided Buffett and said that if he wanted to do more, then "send in a check". Buffett's response? Classic and said he'll even match the amount returned by each member of Congress one-to-one! Oh and here's something to leave you with...
"I’ve worked in an economy that rewards someone who saves the lives of others on a battlefield with a medal, rewards a great teacher with thank-you notes from parents, but rewards those who can detect the mispricing of securities with sums reaching into the billions."
