Gotta admit, this man can raise money like nobody's business. Maybe he will redistribute the wealth and help out the less fortunate, or did...

I really don't care, tax them at 50%. Just tired of the same old act of you trotting out Buffet and Gates every time Obama's tax plan is being...
Here we go again with the buffet and gates examples, if you want, create a special tax bracket for those two, until then you can stop using them...
