A lot of those who hate Buffett, purposely ignore this fact. Ironically, a lot of them are also pro-crypto and hate him because of his negative comments about it, but I wonder how they feel now - after crypto's massive fall lately? LOL

Yes, let's all follow Buffets example. Give all our money to causes we believe in, leaving next to nothing for taxes. All while scolding everyone else to pay their fair share of taxes.

The govt would collapse but so what. We'd feel good about ourselves for giving so much money away. And sycophants would worship us. That's all that matters, right?

No one likes a hypocrite. Especially a sanctimonious one.

Buffet was being interviewed on CNBC years back. You've all see these interviews where Buffet holds court explaining how he's so much smarter than everyone else. The topic turned to politics and Buffet jumped in with an example of how he judges politicians. According to Buffet he asks them to give him examples of positions they've taken that hurt them politically but they stuck by anyway because it was the right thing to do. Of course if the Pol couldn't come up with an example, Buffet dismissed him/her as unworthy of his support.

As Buffet sat there glowing with moral superiority, Becky Quick hit him with a followup: So what did Hillary Clinton say when you asked her that? (Hillary was running for President at the time and Buffet was a big supporter)

A great question.

Buffet started stammering and stuttering so bad I thought they were going to have to call an EMT. Turns out he never asked Hillary that question because he didn't want to put her on the spot.

All this Buffet worship is nauseating.
