He wants to be taxed more for the betterment of all.

That's why all the biggest and most well-financed lobbyist firms are advocating for a high marginal tax rate. That's why big think tanks have been churning out white papers and bombarding the airwaves with pro-tax policy. I can't turn on my AM radio without some paid shill telling me my taxes aren't high enough.

It's so bizarre that none of this has worked. I thought for sure billionaires had more influence than this. I guess Mr. Buffet is just a small bean me.
