New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has heard enough from billionaire Warren Buffett, and told him to put up or shut up.

On Tuesday Governor Christie appeared on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” and said, “He should just write a check and shut up. Really, and just contribute. The fact of the matter is that I’m tired of hearing about it. If he wants to give the government more money, he’s got the ability to write a check — go ahead and write it.”

Governor Christie’s frustration stems from the “Buffett Rule,” a rule that suggests those who earn over $1 million a year pay the same tax rates as those in middle class. Buffett suggested the rule when he realized that he pays less tax rates than his secretary.

Governor Christie didn’t want to continue with the topic but Piers Morgan continued to pressure him and the governor went on to say, “I’m so tired of talking about Warren Buffett. Do you really think Warren Buffett needs as much attention from the government as the most vulnerable? I’m not going to get into this class warfare business where certain people are more important than others or deserves more. … Everyone deserves to have the government responsive to their concerns and needs.”

Many people are frustrated by the economy and the lack of leadership from Washington, due to the continuous back and forth between the Republicans and Democrats. As the bickering continues, the ones who ultimately suffer are the people they are supposed to be helping. Maybe they should ALL shut up and get back to work.
