Haven't read much about him. Believe he found the insurance industry the key to acquiring other peoples money to invest for his own profit.

The insurance industry is a way for him and his company to avoid taxes.

Well, she can't get greedy now, can she?

I figured a U-Haul full of booty would have lasted her a while.

The Buffett Empire is built on marketing fat, sugar, and abortion.

Thanks for summarizing.

"Let's just take them on while they are alive, eh?"

I came here intending to do just that, until I heard the praises heaped upon the Biuffets, for their generosity,even though this Lady died with three billion in the bank and her husband is the proud possessor of forty three billion. It's their billions and they are free to do with it as they please. But I refuse to praise their selfishness.

The rich hang onto their own loot, while demanding that the Government do this and do that, financed by taxes extracted from you and me. That is the gripe I have against such filthy rich, pious bastards.

She was watching Kerry.

It hurts bad to know all the money in the Iowa Electronic Market was going to be lost.

Obituaries have new significance to me now that my father is the same age as famous people who are dying.

You know what kills me about Berkshire Hathaway? They're one of the most successful companies in the United States, the guy running it is always at the top of the Fortune and Forbes richest list, and the company's website looks like it was done by a 12-year-old on Geocities.

Why so full of vitriole? Do any of us need to worry abut what God will do to us if we do not live as other humans think we should. If God created everything from an atom or something smaller to the universe, do you not think that he can judge all hearts, minds and evaluate who amongst us is worthy, if indeed any of us are. Perhaps God thinks evil thoughts and unkind words equal evil deeds, I for one do not know. For you see I cannot see inside Gods, Mind, but if he exists he can for sure know me and what I am all about. Perhaps he can also evaluate Ms. Buffet as well as you can.
