> I'm not trying to be pedantic. The tax code is a mess. Simply saying you'd raise taxes on folks making more than a million of taxable income a year doesn't really say very much.

It's saying a huge amount. The Republican position is that tax increases are COMPLETELY off the table (and they are defining closing tax loopholes as tax increases). Buffet is saying that tax increases should be on the table, and that the current tax system results in people at his wealth level paying a smaller percentage of their income as taxes than people in the middle class and that he doesn't think this is fair and that it should be possible to change this without dire consequences.

You seem to be dismissing this because he has not proposed detailed legislation to overhaul the tax code.
