"Someone calculated that the taxes he [Obama] would raise in his Buffett Rule would pay for 11 hours of government."
Turns out, it's not only true, but the Buffett Rule would actually cost the government money for the first 2 years of implementation.

Because obviously there is /no/ way the rule can be reworked to be more effective. /sarcasm
Did it ever occur to you that changing the tax code is inherently expensive?
What a lazy bit of skepticism.
"Hurr-durr, some change will cost money! Therefore I'm against it but for an even GREATER extant of changes (of which I've not calculated the expense for). Derp"
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
