"The rich can afford to pay more taxes"

Warren Buffet proposition on lowering the country's deficit seem like a good idea since it doen't affect the majority of the population. He suggested an increase in the current 35 percent top rate for those making more than $1 million and further increase on those making more than $10 million. Of course the rich dont want to pay more taxes but Warren Buffet suggestion would make an impact. We know and can say that he is a very succesfull business man who understands todays market. I think in this bad economy, we should take advice from someone succefull as Warren Buffet.
