So much for the so called "Buffet Rule." If he wanted to really demonstrate that the rich should pay more, he should drop the lawsuit and pay the $1B.

Tax guy's comment is silly. Buffett's "rule" applies only to individual taxpayers. Berkshire Hathaway is a public company with thousands of shareholders, including not-rich folks. He and his board have a fiduciary duty to have the company pay only the taxes that the law requires.
