You're just dripping with venom. As for my own emotions, perhaps I'm not an unbiased observer, I'll let others form their own judgement.
As for your castigation of Mr Buffett, perhaps you might consider why conservative businessmen are entitled to reduce their taxes as much as they can, by any technicality available, but when liberal tycoons do it it is hypocrisy. Perhaps an analogy might help you get past this.
I like to drive fast, and I feel justified in doing so because I think I'm a good driver and can get away with it. But when a policeman gives me a ticket for speeding and I know I'm guilty, I'm a good sport about it and pay my fine like a man instead of whining about how my freedom is being violated or trying to beat it in court.
There is only one REAL difference between Liberal and Conservative politicians: the former pander mostly to the poor because they have all the votes. The latter favor the rich because they have all the money. Those are merely the paths they have chosen to get re-elected.
I normally vote Liberal because I tend to think of myself as poor, and it is only natural to vote in one's own self-interest. I may not necessarily be destitute, but I certainly don't see myself as rich, nor do I think I am entitled to be rich.
You can call that class warfare if you like. I call it self-preservation. Or maybe a better term might be "enlightened self-interest".

- Sigh. Gee I wish there was something Romney could do to end this entire issue???
- Meanwhile...
