You missed the point. That's exactly what Buffet wants. In the pizza example, the people who are not paying their fair share are not the minimum-wagers, but rather the mega-rich who pay only 15% capital gains.

I'm pretty sure that the point you're making is not the point he was making, which to me sounded like the standard argument against progressive taxation.

- mikeash 15y agoThanks for clearing that up. Sorry I got it wrong. At least we all agree!
