Warren Buffett and Bill Gates: Keeping America Great

Warren Buffett is making his case.  Stocks, or investments in any "productive" asset, will "prove to be the runaway winner" over bonds or gold .. and "more important, it will be by far the safest," he writes in Fortune magazine.

A version of President Obama's "Buffett Rule" has been introduced in the U.S. Senate but it faces an enormous obstacle: strong Republican opposition. Today, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat representing Rhode Island, formally introduced what he's calling the "Paying a Fair Share Act of 2012."

Warren Buffett is matching a 16-year-old girl's $300 deficit-reducing donation, reports WLS in Chicago.

Warren Buffett says criticism of his secretary, Debbie Bosanek, over her supposed high salary and purchase of a second home, is 'ridiculous' and misses the point he's trying to make on tax rates for the very rich.

As President Obama again made the argument that it's not fair Warren Buffett's secretary pays a higher tax rate than her billionaire employer does, a Forbes contributor gets some attention with a post headlined "Warren Buffett's Secretary Likely Makes Between $200,000 and $500,000/Year."  But is there really a strong argument to support that conclusion?

The woman who has gained some fame as Warren Buffett's "secretary" .. she actually refers to herself as Buffett's assistant .. is "excited" about sitting with Michelle Obama during tonight's State of the Union address by President Obama.
