you do know the different between a business and a person, don't you? From the article:

Berkshire Hathaway, the eighth-largest public company in the world according to Forbes, openly admits to still owing taxes for years 2002 through 2004 and 2005 through 2009, according to the New York Post. The company says it expects to "resolve all adjustments proposed by the US Internal Revenue Service" within the next year.

This is Berkshire Hathaway Corporation, not Warren Buffet, working with the IRS to resolve corporate tax matters. And note the issue of underpayment is a matter of adjustments. This is very often a matter of a company claiming a deduction, that has been used for years, that is disallowed in an IRS review, then flagged for previous years as not allowed. It is not, as you insinuate a purposeful tax dodge, and this sort of "we thought it was an allowed deduction" happens often, even on personal taxes.

But I am curious as to why you cannot differentiate between a corporate entity and a person. Especially if you are the from the 9th ward. You should know that from your post - Katrina experiences..
