Groan: Warren Buffett’s Secretary Will Sit Next To Mooch In Her Box At Tonight’s State of the Union…

Get ready for some serious class warfare tonight.

(Politico 44) — Billionaire Warren Buffett’s longtime secretary will be joining first lady Michelle Obama in her box at tonight’s State of the Union, White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer announced on Twitter.

Debbie Bosanek, who has worked for Buffett for nearly two decades, has become a symbol in the White House’s fight over the tax code and economic fairness. Obama is expected to renew his push for the so-called “Buffett rule” that would bring investment taxation levels into line with income taxation levels — and ensure that upper income earners pay rates as high as middle-class Americans.

“Warren Buffett’s secretary shouldn’t pay a higher tax rate than Warren Buffett,” President Obama said in September, when he unveiled his American Jobs Act proposal. It’s a trope that Buffett himself has repeated, as he has campaigned for higher taxes on investment income.

    Symbolism. That’s what it’s all about folks. I swear these ppl put more emphasis on symbolism and how things’ appear’ than those old pagan religious rituals.

    Republicans need to point out how buffet’s railroad profits if keystone is stopped. Crony capitalism!

    income capital gains. The two are not taxed at the same rate. To compare the two is like comparing apples to oranges.

    Hmmm. This does not like arrow brackets. I meant to say “income does not equal captial gains.”

    This will be the most disgraceful performance since Presidents began giving a ‘State of the Union’ speech instead of a written report to Congress.

    No contest. It will have NOTHING to do with this Country, only inasmuch as the Country can be manipulated into voting again for a fraud

    The Purposeful Destruction of this communist is staggering

    Yeah Warren Buffet and BNSF were the BIG winners on Obama not getting the Keystone XL pipeline project done. Do you suppose that was a financial payback to ol Warren? (so typical of this Al Capone-like Administration)

    As if the avg viewer is even going to “get” the symbolism. Unless of course Hussein points it out, which the sociology professor and complicit media will do

    The Obamas really have zero class and sh*t for brains.

    I guess the secretary is a compromise so one of those smelly Occupy people doesn’t have to offend Michelle’s nostrils.

    How is it that obongo is shopping for a $48 mil list price house in Connecticut?

    I guess that will stifle questions about his Social Security #,

    But where is that cash coming from? I’ll bet buffett’s railroad will make a pretty penny if obongo can continue to shut down keystone

    someone needs to cuddle up to buffett’s ‘long time’ secretary, maybe a Book Deal honey?

    Please…Buffett owes millions in taxes- no wonder his secretary pays more in taxes than he does.If I didn’t pay my taxes she’d be paying more than I do too. If we don’t get Obama out of the White House this time around -we are just totally and irrevocably screwed.

    Moochie now decrees who she is willing to sit next to and be photographed with. They must be older than her, unattractive and subservient. Prefers blacks (Shiela Jackson, Maxine Waters, Valerie Jarrett, et al), but whites will do, provided they are inconsequential and inferior to her.

    No, obviously she will be wearing Jackie Kennedy’s dress from the Inauguration over 50 years ago.

    Not a single original thought between the two of them.

  41. Dapandico says:

    The secretary that is a “victim” of unfair taxation?? Will Warren redistribute some of his wealth to her? Tonight will be another campaign speech with made up numbers and a request of fore more years.

  42. Ciccio says:
    January 24, 2012 at 2:11 pm

    Buffett’s income most likely has nothing to do with capital gains. He owns Berkshire. Berkshire makes a profit, pay 35% federal tax, who knows how much local and with what is left after taxes pays him a dividend. So basically for every $ 100 he gets as dividends he has already paid $50 in taxes, but on that $100 he still has to pay personal income tax. That is why the very rch pay only 15%, because their income has already been taxed once. Since Obama has to raise more money to keep up with his spending, here’s a good idea for him. Treat families like the rich, make every woman who gets housekeeping money declare it as income and make her pay tax on it.

    hey GFY

    i hear they can remove rascism by outpatient surgical treatment now. you might want to try it.

    oh.never mind you already had a lobotomy

  45. GFY says:
    January 24, 2012 at 2:38 pm

    If there is a procedure to remove racism, its clear that some of you have not had it. How exactly do you come to the conclusion that I had a lobotomy? Is it because I’m the only voice of dissent against the bigoted statements made on this website EVERY day. It isn’t all of you, but you are all complicit when you stand by and say nothing.
