If the entrepreneur is fortunate to have fleets of trucks using the roads, he should be paying for the maintence & upkeep for the roads. Those 18 wheelers chew up the asphalt.

Warren's point is, no one runs a successful business by themselves.

And that is the point with regard to having those on the top tier pay more taxes.
I'd like to see capital gains taxed at 35%+, leave income tax alone. Get rid of the corporate welfare.
I'd put a tarriff on goods coming into this country, in order to make it competitive to make goods in the USA.
If we hope to have a future built on solid ground, we need to manufacture again. Being a consumer based economy is smoke & mirrors & we are doomed if we continue this path.

But, the entrepreneur pays those "other" taxes, too. In fact, if the entrepreneur's business does a lot of shipping or even owns a fleet of trucks to carry his goods, he is also paying a lot of road taxes. So, Warren's ideas that the entrepreneur has somehow not paid his fair share to his community and that his success is somehow due more to what the community provides, in general, than to his own hard work, time, ingenuity, and risk-taking are absolute rubbish.
