While we're talking US budget, this article claims that the US has spent almost $8 trillion on national security over the last decade, and it is questionable how much "safer" the country is as a result.
I can't read the article; but I think its about time comparative tax was paid.
I also find it interesting that a friend of mine who is an American, living in Australia has to pay tax to America on his Australian earnings if he earns over a certain amount..which from memory was within the 40-50k or above bracket.
Common Dreams: What is the true cost of war? Trying to do the sums on Iraq & Afghanistan.
Craig - Hmmm, yes, my mistake for linking to a NYT article, which gives you a limited number of free article views each month (after you have signed up). I've looked for other versions and you can get the gist of the article here or here. Or just search for "warren buffett tax me" for many more summaries.
SMH: Another summary.
PBS: Buffett: "There has been class warfare in this country, and my class, the super-rich, have won".
Politifact: Buffett's comments confirmed.
CD: Corporate tax dodgers: "78 out of 280 of America’s most profitable companies paid no federal income tax in at least one of the last three years. Thirty of these companies paid a 'less than zero' rate between 2008 and 2010."
