Does anyone know anything about this?

If it's true the first word that comes to mind is hypocrisy.
I also heard this and my exact thoughts were hypocrite, but then I am from Illinois and I recognized this as Chicago Politics in other words if you will go on TV and tell everyone the rich do not pay enough in taxes we will settle Berkshire Hathaway tax issues in a very favorable way.
