Phony.
Q - Why are the stinkin’ rich people always in favor of huge tax increases?
A - Because THEY have their money already.
He’s a rich pig along with cuban, bezos, Ellison and the whole rest of the billionaire cabal.
Communism for thee but not for me.
Hey, give the man a break. He bought her, he has to back her.
Plus how is he going to keep hiding his money from the government.
I have a relative that works for one of his companies. No, not Dairy Queen.
The gist is that he treats his employees better than a lot of companies.
Warren Buffett plays the “country cousin” routine very well. I don’t blame him - he’s got great wealth, and when you have great wealth, you are a target. So he has sought out the statist, progressive, activist party for support - because he fears them more.
Trump should go after Buffett. He’s a PERFECT PR target for Trump. He’s not a “gold star” family. Buffett is a very rich guy who is now slyly playing politics for his own benefit. Independents and Bernie supporters will love it.
I lost all respect for Buffett in 2008. HIs loans to GE and investment in Goldman Sachs were PURE crony-capitalism. His “investments” were clearly front-running expected bailouts by TARP and the Federal Reserve. Fed.gov and our elites were happy to have his public “vote of confidence” in the financial system at the time as well. Off the top of my head - Berkshire made something like $5 billion off his Goldman Sachs “investment.”
Its also very clear that Buffetts railroads benefit greatly by the phony environmentalism behind the opposition to Keystone and Fracking.
BH Media owns 10 newspapers.
Do you suppose they are influenced to lean toward Hillary?
Warren on TV in Omaha: Says he will personally take 10 people who would have trouble going to vote in District 2 (the only dem-leaning district in the state) to the polls in November and challenged others to do the same.
On the plus side, he’s a great songwriter for the drunk college crowd...Margaritaville, Cheesburger in Paradise....oh, wait, wrong Buffet. Never mind.
Another billionaire bearing the badge of leftism to keep the rabble away from his gates, and, ultimately, to subdue it.
Senility.
The number one contributor to Hillary Clinton, thus far ($9 million donated) is Israeli American Haim Saban (net worth estimated at $3.6 billion). Saban is founder and Board Chairman of Saban Capital Group. In 2006 Saban purchased Univision for $13.7 billion. Univision is the largest Spanish speaking media network in the U.S.
The Orifice of Omaha.
From today’s forbes.com:
Warren Buffett went at Donald Trump with gusto yesterday at a rally at Omaha, deriding him for his attacks on the family of a deceased Iraq War hero, his business track record and his refusal to release his tax returns, asking, with a nod to the McCarthy hearing of the 1950s: “Have you no decency, sir?”
So has Buffett ever met Trump?
I asked him that at our annual lunch talk at the Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy, which took place in June 8th in New York.
“I’ve never met him, never talked with him.”
But at the beginning of the year, there was almost a moment. Trump had landed in Omaha – which is across the river from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, ahead of the February 1st Iowa primary.
“My assistant mid-afternoon got a call,” Buffett recalled. “And a woman said, ‘I’m Donald Trump’s assistant, and we’re driving by your office right now.’ ”
“And my assistant said, ‘Well, that’s very nice, and have a good time in Omaha.’”
The net result, said Buffett: “I gave her a raise.”
