After the billionaire chairman of investment firm Berkshire Hathaway wrote an op-ed in the New York Times complaining that the mega-rich are undertaxed in comparison to the middle class, conservatives urged him to voluntarily send more of his own money to the Internal Revenue Service and leave others alone. Not only are they willfully missing Buffett's point, they're seemingly oblivious to the fact that in many ways his tax ideas mirror those of Ronald Rea...

MitchellWarren Buffett’s at it again. He has a column in the New York Times complaining that he has been coddled by the tax code and that “rich” people should pay higher taxes. My first instinct is to send Buffett the website where people can voluntarily pay extra money to the federal government. I’ve made this suggestion to guilt-ridden rich people in the past. But I no longer give that advice. I’m worried he might actually do it. And even though Buffett is wildly misguided about fiscal policy, I know he will invest his money much more wisely than Barack Obama will spend it. But Buffett goes beyond guilt-ridden rants in favor of higher taxes. He makes specific assertions that are inaccurate. Last year my federal tax bill — the income tax I paid, as well as payroll...

I declined the offer because I couldn’t really see what the son of Warren Buffett could offer when it comes to self development. In hindsight that was a fairly narrow-minded and ignorant way to look at things and I’m delighted that when I got asked again for the launch of the Continue reading...

Last year, the Bureau of the Public Debt received $3.1 million in such donations. Looking at the federal budget, I found a total of $241 million in “gifts and contributions” for fiscal year 2010. Charitable donations to the federal government are insignificant when compared to donations made to private charities. A Cato essay on welfare spending points out that Americans contribute more than $300 billion a year to organized private charities and volunteer more than 8 billion hours a year to charitable activities, which can be valued at about $158 billion. Thus when given the choice, people overwhelmingly entrust their donations to private charities...

MitchellWarren Buffett once said that it wasn’t right for his secretary to have a higher tax rate than he faced, leading me to point out that he didn’t understand tax policy. The 15 percent tax rates on dividends and capital gains to which he presumably was referring represents double taxation, and when added to the tax that already was paid on the income he invested (and the tax that one imagines will be imposed on that same income when he dies), it is quite obvious that his effective marginal tax rates is much higher than anything his secretary pays. Though he is right that his secretary’s tax rate is much too high.    Well, it turns out that Warren Buffett also doesn’t understand much about other areas of fiscal policy. Like a lot of ultra-...

Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee (and billionaire Warren Buffett): “I believe we can solve the problems of urban education in our lifetimes and actualize education’s power to reverse generational poverty,” Rhee wrote. “But I am learning that it is a radical concept to even suggest this. Warren Buffett [the billionaire investor] framed the problem for me once in a way that clarified how basic our most stubborn obstacles are. He said it would be easy to solve today’s problems in urban education. ‘Make private schools illegal,’ he said, ‘and assign every child to a public school by rand...

CoulsonAs I write in the San Jose Mercury News today: Bill Gates and Warren Buffett want the world’s billionaires to donate half their wealth to charity. If they’re successful with just their American peers, they’ll raise about $600 billion — an amount U.S. public schools spend in a single year. And therein lies a problem. The problem is that one of their chief goals, shared by many of their billionaire peers, is to improve American education — an institution whose ultimate outcomes have not improved in four decades despite the infusion of trillions of additional dollars. Buffett blames some of our educational woes on a “distorted” market system that rewards great investors ”with sums reaching into the billions,” while it &#8...

Because as a child, playing pirates was imagining another world, a world where one needed to live off one’s own inventiveness and make one’s own rules. Both ideas are very attractive to a child, and still hold that attractiveness at 40. I wish I had some great insights after 40 years of life, but mostly what I have are observations. If you don’t mind rambling reflections on a relaxed life, then read on… First, I need to reveal a secret that everyone “old” knows but few people talk about.

At least for now. Who knows what may turn up later? Maybe another high-ranking exec will suddenly resign? Nonetheless, we will break to entertain one of the short people and check back later. We will also compile the results of our two latest unscientific polls - one concerning Fred Hassan, and the other about Andy Bonfield at Bristol-Myers Squibb. Meanwhile, these should help you keep busy….. Carl Icahn dumped his Genzyme shares, according to Xconomy.com. Regulatory filings posted today show that during the fourth quarter of 2007 the activist investor dumped all 1.5 million shares he bought in Genzyme during the third quarter. You may recall that Genzyme ceo Henry Termeer in December told Carl to go away, but the site speculates the real reason Car...
