Buffett hypocritically supports raising taxes on the rich, while not giving the government any extra tax money himself. He wrote an Op-ed article for the New York Times begging for tax increases on the rich. Of Buffett's $50 billion net worth, he only paid $6.9 million in taxes 2010. <ref>Forbes  magazine, September 2011</ref> His personal income tax rate is 1/7000th of his net worth.
