Yes I understand that BH is also owned by stockholders, and I also
understand that what integrity is, and it has a price. If he feels
that one of his companies is not paying their fair share then he tells
them to pay their fair share and then risk a lawsuit or gets fired or
he walks away from the from the job, simply as that.

Obama is a good man, Romney is also a good man and right now I want
neither one for President.
Both Obama and Romney gave a lot of money to chanties. Lots of rich
people with money give it to charity just look at all the foundations
set up by them to give away their money. Look at the beginning of most
PBS shows and see the list of all the foundations paying for those
shows.
Now the test is not how much you make, but how you use your money? So
someone rich that now pays 15%-22% in taxes is OK because that's their
fair share because they use their money in a certain way while another
that does not use their money that way is not paying their fair share?
So when Buffet and Obama say that the rich are not paying fair share,
do they mean only certain rich that don't use their money the way they
agree? Let's say I made 2 million dollars last year and gave a million
away should I pay like 22% on that million left over while another guy
that made a million and gave nothing away should he pay 30% on his
million?
Almost all of us capable of equaling the philanthropy of Obama and or
Buffett. A kid that makes $ 10 cutting grass and sends away $5 to some
charity is his philanthropy equal to that of Obama and or Buffett?
I'm not rich and I'm mostly retired now so my income is limit, but I
give away about 10-12% of my income to a few charities a year. Now
even if Obama gave away double of what he did to chanties he still has
many times the money I have to live on, so does my gifts equal the
philanthropy of Obama and/
or Buffett?
I guess that Obama and Buffett considered all the money they gave away
before they said that the rich don't pay enough and I guess what they
were really saying is except people like us.
Again I think Obama is a good person.
