Warren Buffet gave his opinion and pays his taxes...set by the tax code. He donates to charity to make his point. Why make a point that doesn't help anyone? What charities have Mr. Trump donated to? I remember him saying he gave all this money to the Vets. Then they checked and he lied. He got called out on it and had to write a check to make the story go away. Mr. Buffet has been very charitable. That is much more meaningful than making a point to pay taxes outside of the tax code.
Well, we will never agree on health insurance. It is a birth right and at every age you need health insurance. Merely because anything can happen and without it, everyone else carries the load. That is why the prices were rising out of control in the first place. Too many people felt they didn't need it and were going to the emergency room with no healthcare....and no way to pay for it. So what happens? The cost rises. You will pay one way or the other....it just comes down to the way that makes the most sense. Everyone should have it and it isn't a big deal to have it in any other modernized country.
Regarding Obama, that ranking will change accordingly. It may improve as the policies are set for a few years but historians know what makes a good president. That's what they do.
Now you see Cd, this is what people get fired up over, so I am just going to point it out. My only statement regarding Warren Buffet and charities he donates to were to say he can do whatever he wants. It's his money so it's his decision. To bring Trump into it is in response to something I never said. I never said Trump was a great philanthropist. I have no idea, nor do I care. My statement was it's his money, as it is Buffet's, so they should be able to do what they want with it. The government shouldn't dictate it. My point is he doesn't pay more to the government as an emphatic point about how all the rich should. He could pay more and trust that the government knows what's best to do with that extra money, but instead he takes advantages of the same loopholes that people accuse Trump of. I could care less what Buffet does with his money. It's his, not mine! I did nothing to earn it, so whatever loopholes the government has in place (which were in place long before Trump was in office btw), he SHOULD take advantage of. I have no problem with that. 0!! My ONLY point on the topic of an example like Buffet is he shouldn't bitch about it when he himself isn't acting on what he preaches. Paying more than what is set forth by the tax code would make his point that all the 1% should do the same. Lead by example brother. Nothing more, nothing less. This wasn't an argument about how Trump is better than Buffet because...........Just a statement that they both adhere to the same tax code. The exception being one is complaining it's not enough yet not avoiding said loopholes.
The other two I'll leave alone. No common ground there, lol! No worries though dude. You're a Canes fan so you are on my "do not kill list". lol!!
