TPM's one-paragraph story is about this tweet from WH spokesman Dan Pfeiffer:

Tonight President Obama will offer more details on the Buffett Rule and Buffett's secretary, Debbie Bosanek, will be in the First Lady's Box

[frazzled]

1. She is becoming the Rosa Parks of the inequality movement

(though I'm sure Warren Buffett's secretary is paid a very hefty salary).

This is actually quite funny, I think: to bring the actual, real, live "Warren Buffet's secretary." I honestly didn't think of her as having an existence. I hope she's a nice older lady and not some ditsy blonde (excuse me to my blonde friends).

[FarLeftFist]

2. I heard somewhere that she makes $66,000/yr

[frazzled]

3. Really? He should pay the woman way more!

I would think the executive secretary to one of the richest men in the world would be way way higher than that.

4. Maybe that's one way (underpay workers) rich people get rich

11. You May Not Be Aware

But the Berkshire-Hathaway headquarters staff consists of something like 27 employees. It is a really, really small staff. That salary estimate sounds about right.

5. I agree with that, although...

I wonder if she gets some sweet perks in the way of holiday gifts and other little things. I know people who don't make too much, but their manager is generous with those kind of things.

6. Don't Bank on It

Rich people are some of the cheapest fucks on the planet. Their idea of a gift is like a $50 gift card to a deparment store.

8. That's soooooo true. The more they have, the less they share. It's psychopathic. nt

[klook]

7. Gets Berkshire Hathaway stock every birthday and/or Christmas

according to Buffet's biographer Alice Schroeder. So I imagine she's doing OK...

9. BRK-A or BRK-B?

BRK-B ($78.58/share) would be good. BRK-A ($117,870.00/share) would be awesome.

12. I read she is given company stock every year

She makes probably way more then $66,000.

10. That's a direct shot at YOU Mitt Romney

You SPOILED RICH FUCK!!!!!
