Should you be wondering, billionaire investor Warren Buffett earned $46 million last year.
And he paid a lower tax rate than others in the offices of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., of which he is chairman, including those who made $60,000.
His tax rate was 17.7 percent. The average in his office was 33.9 percent, about a third of the others’ income.
If you don’t think that’s fair, he doesn’t either. He thinks the tax code needs to be revised.
Buffett disclosed his income last night at a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton where he helped to raise $1 million for her presidential race.
Buffett hasn’t endorsed anyone for the race, but according to an account from The Associated Press, he told guests at a dinner that Clinton was “the person to run the country.”
He has also said he would help Barack Obama raise money.
