that means you, bill o'reilly. the last line of buffett's op-ed reads, my friends and i have been coddled long enough by a billionaire friendly congress. it's time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice. these days, the oracle of omaha is only ignorable in the house of representatives. in europe, some of the super rich are joining warren buffett's call to action. this week, maurice levy wrote a companion piece to the buffett op-ed in "the financial times." he is the chairman and chief executive of the giant french advertising company. the headline for his op-ed is, "i am not a masochist, but the rich must pay more." the french, you see, must always make some kind of sexual confession to get your attention, even when discussing tax policy. so, ok, he's not a masochist.
