History shows that high taxes on rich don't work
Warren Buffett has been extremely successful in his common sense approach to investments. However I must agree with Brian Murphy's conclusion that Mr. Buffett is wrong in his approach to taxes ("Warren Buffett is wrong," Aug. 25) but for an additional...Tags: George W.

Raising taxes on the rich won't cause them to flee
Brian Murphy suggests that if the super-rich were taxed more heavily they would move away ("Warren Buffett is wrong," Aug. 25). I don't believe that. California has higher taxes than Oklahoma, yet the super-rich still prefer California to Oklahoma....Tags: Maryland

Warren Buffett is right, Brian Murphy is wrong
Brian Murphy's analysis of Warren Buffet's position on paying higher taxes misses the larger point Mr. Buffet was making ("Raising taxes on the rich won't cause them to flee," Aug. 29). The practical and reasonable response to our country's deficit... -
In reality, trade seldom free or fair
In his letter ("Free trade does not kill jobs," Aug. 30), Thomas Jandl responded to my recent opinion piece in The Sun ("What's killing jobs?" Aug. 27) by questioning my analysis of our trade practices. He misunderstood the basis for the piece. His...Tags: India, Wipro Limited, Trade Dispute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Computing and Information Technology Industry

Baltimore on the fast track
One can only hope that crow tastes like chicken, because after the success of the Baltimore Grand Prix, there are a number of people dining on it this week.

The downgrade and the aftershocks
As Warren Buffett once observed, it takes about 20 years to build up a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. Last Friday's decision by Standard & Poor's to downgrade U.S. debt from AAA to AA+ was just that kind of hit — and the markets are showing...Tags: Automotive Equipment, White House, Barack Obama, Philosophy, Michele Bachmann

Such a millionaire tax would...Tags: Republican Party

President Obama needs some math lessons
In his latest backpedaling to raise taxes on the rich, President Obama says "This is not class warfare — it's the math." So let's look at the math, together with history. First the math: Obama's "Buffett Rule" millionaire's tax fails to take...Tags: Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Republican Party, Elections

Are Romney-Buffett taxes truly that low? Yes
The Web economics argument of the day is whether Romney's and Warren Buffett's tax rates are really 15 percent or lower. Last night Obama reiterated Warren Buffett's argument that Buffett's tax rate is lower than that of Buffett's secretary. Mitt Romney's...Tags: Personal Income, Shareholders, Mitt Romney, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Companies and Corporations

Government's job: stay out of the way
For the current election cycle, "jobs" is the new black. It's the buzzword that transcends the left and the right. From the parties of Occupy Wall Street to the tea parties of last year, and from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party to the Worker'...Tags: Mergers, Acquisitions and Takeovers, Marketing, Wages and Pensions, Parties and Movements, Occupy Wall Street

Stop the latest backdoor stimulus
In 2009, President Barack Obama lifted the $400 billion cap off the bailout money that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae could pass on to the taxpayers. Apparently, $400 billion wasn't enough. Fannie and Freddie are publicly owned. You and I own them and all the...Tags: Mergers, Acquisitions and Takeovers, Fannie Mae, Barack Obama, Freddie Mac, Homes

Time for 'Occupy' to grow up
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his counterparts in several other cities may have done the protesters of the "Occupy" movement the biggest possible favor by kicking them out of the parks where they have erected tent cities for the last several weeks....Tags: Michael Bloomberg, Manhattan (New York City), Protest, Adbusters Media Foundation, Activism
