Ask Warren Buffet, who I'm guessing knows a bit more than your

Utter BS and you know it. Tell Warren to give me a call if you'd like
to back up your statement.


Yup, it's BS. When Buffet complained about the tax structure, his $46
million was taxed at 17.7%, while his secretary's $60,000 was taxed at
30%. Clearly, JPS is wrong. Their tax rates are not the same.
