Usually attacking people like George Soros or Warren Buffet.

Of course, we all know that a dramatic act like Warren Buffet donating all his money to the U.S. government is a futile gesture. Even Warren's wealth would be a drop in the bucket. You need a system that can sustain the revenue that is needed to fund the government.

Just another dumb Republican talking point.
