Yes, but Warren Buffet is the 2nd richest man in the world.
His wealth fluctuates with the performance of the market, but for the last few years he has been reported to be worth over $30 Billion, making him the 2nd richest man in the world.Let's just say he's several sigmas from the mean! :) Comparing anyone but his Billiness to Warren Buffet will give strange results. He would still pay plenty in taxes.
He is right that the peculiar tax rules for dividends being proposed will make for some convoluted tax avoiding acts. Tax lawyers and accountants will make hay in the process and none of them will be unemployed.
