I recently wrote a couple of blog posts on Warren Buffett and the need for higher taxation of the very wealthy, an idea that is gaining currency in a number of countries, including France and Spain, the latter actually recently imposing a new tax on the wealthy. While conventional news formats are reluctant to pursue the issue in any depth, alternative sites for news and opinions like our own rabble.ca and Truthdig, an American-based site, are not shying away from this contentious topic.
A Truthdig article entitled Why They Hate Warren Buffett examines the backlash from the right provoked by Buffett's plea for higher taxation of people like him, and is well worth perusal.
