Eat your damned peas, Warren!

:-D. Well said.

Why doesn’t he pay double? His stockholders would understand. Just another Learjet Liberocrite!

I always considered Warren Buffett a parasite. Ben Stein was always talking about what a genius Buffett was, which should have warned me about Stein even before he bacame a full-fledged RAT.

One share of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A) stock is $104,000.00...ONE SHARE.

Oh, he certainly is a genius; his ideas about investments are very sound, and he can read balance sheets like no other. However, that seems to be the only thing he is good at. He knows nothing about high-tech, and his understanding of economics is very wanting (he is a big Keynesian). Very narrow focus, not uncommon among geniuses (think Einstein).

But, that’s not a problem because Buffett will give all of his shares to the Gates foundation, to shield his entire fortune from the taxman -

without the trouble and expense of setting up his own organization and infrastructure, and payroll expenses of distributing his own fortune. Let Bill and Melinda take care of all the issues!

yeah, right, a mere oversight and the check is in the mail! and i won't....

What needs to happen (fat chance!) is all of these ‘tax exempt’ foundations and other avoidance vehicles need to be cleared off the tax rules.

I hope Warren can still play a good bridge game with his pal Bill Gates without any worries. Bill’s dad also wants to pay more taxes. I wonder if Bill does too?
