Opinion of Warren Buffet?

[Sir Mohamed]

Well?

I voted FF.

[Antonio the Sixth]

FF

[RaphaelDLG]

FF on balance for being a smart, successful businessman, advocating for more progressive taxation, and for pledging to give away all of his wealth.  HP sometimes for being soft on WS regulation.

Also, it's worth mentioning that he isn't phenomenally wealthy because he's this genius stock picker (he's not, at all) but because he innovated and managed an extremely lucrative model of using customers' insurance premiums to buy low-risk stocks to turn a small profit for a few months before paying out premiums (without the customers expecting any return on their money like a hedge fund or a publicly traded stockholder would).

Billionaire = HP

Look, I agree it's a moral failing to some extent, but I don't think it's fair to take the logic quite to this extreme.

He's better than 95% of billionaires, let's give him that.

[Maxwell]

one of the only good billionaires. also, actually is a billionaire, unlike some people.

[Pyro]

Major HP. Regardless of supposed liberal politics, Buffet is another born-into-wealth billionaire who's attitude about his "earned" wealth is utterly sickening. He's repeatedly advocated against serious financial reform, has actively invested in corrupt organizations and firms, and even advised the budget-cutting operation of Gov. Schwarzenegger.

"There's a class war alright. My class is making the war, and we are winning."

[Murica!]

There's no such thing as a "good billionaire," to the guillotine with the lot of them.

Didn't he say that in the context of advocating for redistribution? The way I read it, it's actually a quote I really like.

[SATW]

Lean HP due to political differences, but was tempted to vote FF to spite all the "rich pple r ebul" edgelords.

[RINO Tom]

Buffett* lol...

Anyway, sanctimonious HP.  Wonder how much extra money he donates to the IRS on his tax form, ya know, to do his small part.  Surely a gigantic amount.

I said "good guy", but this is an excellent point.  If he thinks it's such a tragedy that his secretary pays a higher percentage of her pay in taxes than he does, he could easily solve that problem, at least personally, by writing a fat check to the Feds.  I'm pretty sure he hasn't done that.

[Intell]

HP, and a hypocritical piece of sh**t.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

another billionaire whose opinions are no more interesting or insightful than some random person off the street.   seems like an ok guy though.

Why? Not all billionaires are evil. And unlike Mr. Drumpf, Buffet is a real billinaire and not a fake billionaire.

Haha, not to mention that he pays his secretary a higher paid salary than he "pays himself" to look good and then rakes in millions of income in other ways that he knows are taxed less.

Eat the rich.
