Another blemish on St Warren's halo

Tom Smith:

Which would Warren Buffet's secretary prefer -- being made the national poster girl for tax victimhood or being paid more than a measley $60K a year for being personal assistant to one of the richest guys in the world?

Tom offers his guess answer in the rest of the post.

http://evilbloggerlady.blogspot.com/2012/01/crony-capitalism-it-is-good-to-be.html I thought it was determined she was making over $200,000 a year. $60,000 is good for a secretary in Omaha, although I would have guessed Warren Buffett's secretary would make more than that. I am guessing she has a few shares of Berkshire Hathaway too.

Hmmm. You're such a grumpy old complainer that I wasn't sure who this post was going to be about. I was guessing Elizabeth Warren.

What a canard. I guess if you can't come up with a good counter argument, you resort to silly stuff like this.

It still doesn't change the core point of the argument, which is that capital gains should be taxed at equal (or heck, even near equal) levels as other income.
