<p>Buffets Berkshire income was 100k, with about another 300K that appeared on his w2 for personal and home security services paid for by Berkshire. Its all in the proxy.</p>
<p>I doubt that he holds any stock outside of Berkshire. Its hard to figure where the other income came from. Berkshire doesn’t pay a dividend. Retracted after reading above post more carefully. I am surprised he owns any of those stocks outside of his berkshire holdings. </p>
<p>The administrations minimum rate idea may simply be an awkward way of saying they want to tax hedge fund managers income at a regular rate, despite the fact that it comes from capital gains. Most of the proposals in the link document boil down to we need your money because we’ve overspent and can’t afford our promises. I’m in favor of letting the so called Bush tax cuts expire for everyone. Ive been hearing for the last 8 years that they were all for a small minority anyway, so that shouldn’t make any difference to anyone but the high earners…should it.</p>
