“There’s actually an American who’s acting in an un-American way, as defined by Obama, and that is his old pal Warren Buffett, who two years ago was the paragon of economic social justice, who was demanding that his taxes be raised so he shouldn’t pay less than 30 percent,” Krauthammer said. “Of course if you’re a plutocrat with all those billions it makes no difference what your income-tax rate is, whereas for everyone else it does.”
Krauthammer continued: “As Obama said . . . exploiting a loophole that of course deprives the Treasury of money. And what does it do? It forces hard working Americans to have to pay more — essentially into the pocket of Warren Buffett.”
