hey mike,

just saw you make a complete asshole of yourself on cnbc.
go back and see what reagan did by lowering taxes in the
80's after the peanut farmer left the office. then you said
"theres nothing better then taxing the dead
millioners." hey asshole, the families of those dead millioners
are the ones paying the taxes you stupid moron. let me
tell you why bush came into office with such a surplus.
maybe b/c clinton, which is another asshole left the military in ruins.
maybe if he didn't 9/11 may not have happened you stupid
fuck! by the way mr. buffett that fuckhead uses every tax
lopehole to not pay more taxes. by the way if you fuckers
want to pay more taxes then give all your money to the
gov't and maybe you can fix all the bridges in the united states....
then again maybe we could capture osama with your help. you
stupid fucks

proud to be from a wealthy family

Whoever you are, if this is really your email address, I think
you misdirected this email to us.

We don't have a Mike here, but perhaps you intended this
for a specific member of our organization?

We certainly appreciate you expression of views, however
crude, which is, of course, your entitlement as a citizen.

Best Wishes, and have a really happy day!
