He sounds extremely stingy with his money when it comes to his own family, then he bails out Goldman Sachs and whines about how the government should foot the bill for the lower-income folks through taxes on people who earn a little more. Yet he won’t provide health insurance for his own adopted granddaughter or the rest of his family for that matter. Buffett is obviously very smart knowing how to make money, but his value system is a little twisted. I wouldn’t be surprised if he leaves nothing in his will to his kin. I guess I just don’t understand why if he wants his own family to earn or do without, why not apply that same attitude toward everybody else.
She only spoke the truth, “Money is the spoke in my grandfather’s wheel of life.”
He seems to love money for its own sake — and not for the good it can do for the real people in his life.
However, he does seem to be extremely generous with “other people’s money” like most liberals/Democrats.
So was Madoff — and look at the trail of pretty unemotional devastation he laid waste, mostly through the heart of Democratic liberalism.
Poetic justice — or the heart of the matter?
I wouldn't trade places with him for all his billions!
