Funny thing.

Warren Buffet gets criticized by the right because he says he should pay higher taxes.

Buffet is doing the exact same thing as Chomsky. He is using the system for his personal gain, while complaining about he should pay a higher tax rate.

That's funny.
these men don't need to say a word since they are the elites of this nation and the world perhaps. but they clearly see the faults of the system and from first hand experience, they are just pointing out what should be done to rectify the situation. what makes you think warren buffet doesn't want to pay higher taxes? but why must he be the only one when everyone in his class virtually pays nothing? in his eyes, him paying higher taxes won't solve the problems.

in their eyes, they know what's right and wrong but they are intelligent enough to know how to play the game.

let me ask you this, what do you disagree with what they have to say? are they telling the truth? do you expect these brilliant men to just struggle in poverty just because their beliefs are ignored?
