Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, has been in protracted fights with the IRS in order to avoid paying taxes that amount to some 1 Billion Dollars by estimates.
While shilling for President Obama while being the subject of many photo-ops in calling for higher tax rates and higher taxes paid by the "rich", Buffett's lawyers have been fighting tooth and nail to avoid paying taxes owed to the federal government at the current rates and the battle has been going on for years.
This fight by Warren Buffett to pay his taxes has also cost the taxpayers in the years of efforts of the IRS agents trying to collect this money, and they don't work cheap, and they work on our dime.
The "Oracle of Obama" has a hypocrisy that is astounding. John Hayward of Human Events writes "Warren Buffett is no different from the other liars and frauds orbiting Barack Obama. His hypocrisy just runs billions of dollars deeper. When it comes to 'shared sacrifice,' you do the sacrificing, and they do the sharing," Hayward writes.
