I saw the Charlie Rose Show, and was shocked when Buffett said that he thought his taxes should be increased. He said his cleaning lady paid a higher tax rate than him, and that was wrong. He also questioned why making money on stocks should be taxed less than labor. Pretty amazing man! Doesn't look like greed to me that he supports Obama.</p> Great Post, Griffin.
