More BS. source For 25 percent, the next higher tax rate above 15 percent, the salary range is $34,501 - $83,600 for single filers, and $69,001 - $139,350 for married filing jointly.

Debbie Bosanek makes about $60,000 per year and pays over 30% of her income in taxes. It's not secret information--Buffett released that info. Source: http://www.washingtontimes.com.../13/buffetts-rebuff/ The Forbes "analyst" is wrong. Jeff | |||

Admit you were wrong, take it back, apologize, and promise to vote for Obama in the general election. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Republicans' main complaint is that President Obama hasn't done a good enough job cleaning up Bush's mess. | |||

From Jeff's source:
2011 Federal Income Tax Brackets, Rates and Taxable Income Thresholds For a person earning $60,000.00, Both 2010 and 2011 tax rates are 25 percent. I'm confident Debby Bosanek also pays state and local taxes. Emily Miller's take ("The IRS reports that reports the average tax rate for someone making that amount is 11.6 percent") is BS. Don't take my word for it. Ask your CPA. Gus, Charlie can't hear you. His head's too far up his butt. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's a purple pentode?

Actually your source doesn't not state that. Your source states that Warren refused to release his return however he claims
And what does the IRS have to say about Buffett and obama's wild and unsubstantiated claim?
So we have President Lying dirtbag making claim about two tax returns one of which has never been released, and the other you claim has been released, but I can't find it in the link you claimed contained it. Did I miss it somehow? | |||

Comp Guy can tell you what is wrong with your assertion, its a point he has made several times. Comp Guy, what's wrong with the hamburger face avatar's reasoning here? The IRS is right. If she is only making $60,000 a year there is no way in hell she is paying an effective taxrate of 30%. Obama's claim is a monument of crap, we need both these tax returns released if Obama wants to base public policy changes on these two tax returns. | |||

Zorro, you're an a s s h o l e. Wait... I forgot, you're head is far up your butt, too. Let me try again. ZORRO, YOU'RE AN A S S H O L E. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's a purple pentode? Why, it's one that's gassy! | |||

Zorro, you as usual fail to understand anything about these situations. I don't quarrel with the IRS numbers for the AVERAGE tax paid. If you're married filing jointly, if you have a mortgage and pay deductible mortgage interest, if you have charitable contributions, retirement funds, medical expenses, etc. etc. you will have many ways to reduce your tax rate. The IRS clearly is talking about the AVERAGE tax rate. The average rate is just that--many people pay more, many people pay less. For a single person with a salary of $60K per year, the federal tax is $11,131 this year. Source: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040tt.pdf Payroll tax is usually 6.2% (reduced this year); Medicare is 1.45%. So, assuming a typical year, that's an additional 7.65% of $60K in taxes, or $4590.00. That brings her taxes above 25% In many areas, there are also state and local taxes. There are sales taxes. There are property taxes. Doesn't take much to bring her effective tax rate to 30% or more. That's the point. And you don't have to see tax returns. Those are the numbers. Zorro, why do you question what are simple facts? Jeff | |||

Jeff, you know the answer. Why do you bother being thoughtful toward him? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's a purple pentode? Why, it's one that's gassy! | |||

So to call it thirty percent is clearly an exaggeration by 20%. This isn't a discussion of state and local taxes, it's a discussion of Federal taxes. Further, Buffett never claimed she was single. He never claimed she had a taxable income of $60,000, according to your source, he said she makes 60,000 a year. No deductions? Not even her own personal deduction? The IRS is right, there is no way in hell she is paying anythng close to thirty percent. Further, you know that full well. Its almost like you are a lying sack of crap or somethin. It appears Warren, Obama and his Warren's Secty are all lying their asses off. They want public tax policy based on their CLAIMS about their returns? Fine, RELEASE THE RETURNS! | |||

It looks like Buffet is comparing her federal marginal tax rate to his effective tax rate, which is simply beyond bizarre. They are liars, Obama is a liar, and you do yourself no favors by advocating for such mendacities. | |||

Says who? Buffett only talks about "taxes." I've never seen him say he's talking only about federal taxes. Show me a link. Nebraska has four state tax brackets, with the top bracket being 6.84% for the portion of income over $27K for a single filer. That easily puts her overall taxes over 30%. The IRS tax table I linked to assumes the taxpayer will take the standard deduction. You don't know that? Have you ever filed a tax return? Obviously he's talking about the salary he pays her, which is taxable. You're being silly. Plus you keep saying the IRS says he/she are liars. The IRS never made any such statement. And you know that. So who is lying here? The answer's pretty obvious, isn't it? Look, I'm pretty sure that Buffett's original statement is based on one thing and one thing only--what he, as her employer, has to withhold from her $60K salary. That includes federal/state/local taxes and payroll taxes. I doubt he's seen his secretary's tax returns. Maybe she pays less; maybe she pays more. It doesn't matter. Buffett's point is the same.

Yup He is a liar. He knows he is a liar, and Obama is a liar too. There is no way in hell Warren's secretary is paying anything close to 30% in federal taxes even if you throw in her payroll taxes. You know it, I know it, everyone with a brain knows it. That is why neither will ever release their returns, because then the whole world would know what liars the three of them are. I'm a little surprised that you are defending such an obvious lie with such passion. What's up with that? You know that she not only has a primary residence, but a second residence, so very likely a full schedule b with deductible mortgage interest? They are lying pure and simple. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. Such strident defense of an obvious lie just makes you look dishonest yourself. They are not worth you destroying your good character. | |||

Yes. Real Obvious. Buiffet has already said he has an effective taxrate of 17.4%. Looking over the IRs information, I wouldn't be surprise to find she is paying less than 8%. http://www.irs.gov/taxstats/in...=96981,00.html#_grp1 Everyone with a brain knows they are lying. RELEASE THE RETURNS! | |||
