Bachmann: Buffett, Obama shouldn't 'enact warfare'

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., attacked Warren Buffett and President Obama apropos of the $1.5 trillion in tax increases introduced by Obama in a Rose Garden speech today, including one millionaire tax rate known as the “Buffett Rule.”

Bachmann repeated a theme of Republican responses to the tax increases, criticing especially Buffett’s call for higher taxes. “If Warren Buffett believes he doesn’t pay enough taxes then he should write a check today to the Treasury,” Bachmann said, “but he and the President shouldn’t enact warfare on the millions of small businesses, on charities and on middle class America with increased tax burdens.”
