Warren Buffett has responded to critics who said the timing of Berkshire Hathaway's purchase of $1.2 billion of its own stock was designed to save the seller a lot of money in taxes.
That's based on the assumption the seller expects the tax rate on capital gains will be substantially higher next year after the "fiscal cliff" is resolved, so he or she wanted to complete the sale before the end of this year.
In that light, Berkshire's participation in the deal could be seen as contradicting Buffett's high-profile calls for higher tax rates on extremely wealthy Americans who make a lot of their money from investments, and for higher estate taxes.
