Warren Buffet, who is "consistently ranked among the world's wealthiest people" recently wrote an article called "Stop Coddling the Super-Rich." It begins "Our leaders have asked for 'shared sacrifice.' But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched. ... while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks. ..."

"I know well many of the mega-rich ... Most wouldn't mind being told to pay more in taxes as well, particularly when so many of their fellow citizens are truly suffering."  
...
"for those making more than $1 million — there were 236,883 such households in 2009 — I would raise rates immediately on taxable income in excess of $1 million, including, of course, dividends and capital gains. And for those who make $10 million or more — there were 8,274 in 2009 — I would suggest an additional increase in rate. My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It's time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice."
