If anything illustrates the "me-first" mindset of the average Conservative -- it's their reflexive response to the Buffet Tax speaks volumes ...
Buffett on Taxes
On taxes, Buffett says it's a myth that U.S. corporations are paying anything close to a 35 percent tax rate and maintains those taxes are not "strangling" American competitiveness.
He dismisses suggestions by critics that if he wants the super-rich to be taxed at a higher rate then he should write a check and make a voluntary donation to the Treasury. Buffett responds that contributions aren't going to solve the massive debt problem facing the U.S.
He says it is a "travesty" that everyone else is being asked to make sacrifices but not America's most wealthy people.

Warren Buffett on CNBC: I'd Buy Up 'Millions' of Single-Family Homes If I Could
by Alex Crippen, CNBC -- 27 Feb 2012
Instead of pitching in to help make the Country a better place, to help dig our way out of 'Lost Decade' -- Conservatives would rather make any increase in millionaire taxes a "Voluntary Donation."
Funny how so much of the rest of their 'Morality Policing' agenda -- is exactly the opposite of Voluntary.
As usually is the case, with the "me-first" mindset -- it's "Do as I say, not as I do." Just ask Candidate Santorum if those three University Degrees of his, were examples of the "Social Indoctrination" he accuses President Obama is promoting? Or if those Degrees on his resume, were "voluntarily" pursued, of his own free will?
I suspect he will not answer the question, especially if it is voluntary, and/or optionally asked.
If anything illustrates the "me-first" mindset of the average Conservative -- their reflexive response to the health of the American Economy: Cheering on Gas Price spikes, and stalling the re-employment of average Americans, to fix the stuff that we GOT TO fix someday anyways.
Warren Buffet has a few words of wisdom about the Morality Police, otherwise known as the Gridlock GOP:
Buffett on the Economy
Aside from the housing sector, Buffett says the U.S. economic recovery is healthy and won't be derailed by rising oil prices. He repeated what he's been saying throughout the recession, that it's always been a "terrible mistake" to be pessimistic on the U.S. over the long term.
It would seem that
Waterloo Conservatives have made a "terrible mistake" --
betting against the Country, that has given them so much. As if no one would notice.
Guess what GOP Conservatives -- most of America is noticing. Ooops!
