| Signalstar said: Warren Buffet does. http://www.cnbc.com/id/46103952/Warren_Buffett_Offers_Millions_in_Deficit_Donations_If Warren Buffett ups the ante with an offer to donate millions of dollars to help reduce the nation's deficit .. 15 percent of his annual income .. if at least 50 Capitol Hill lawmakers do the same. Previously Buffett had offered a one-for-one match of any debt donations made by Republican members of Congress, with a three-for-one match for any money Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell voluntarily sent to the Treasury. One Republican, Rep. Scott Rigell of Virginia was already donating 15 percent of his Congressional salary toward national debt reduction, and an "impressed" and "delighted" Buffett will be writing a check for just over $49,000 to match Rigell's 2011 and 2012 donations. |
thats my point. he will only do it if others do it first. if he feels it the best idea why does he not lead by example and just donate the money to the government?
