The law would be a great one. Now who has to pass that law? Why the very people we want to kick out, and they aren't about to do that.

Buffet is good with investing but his politics stink.

More recently his timing going in and then out of Goldmann Sachs is highly questionable. That he owned a major stake in Moodys when Moodys failed to downgrade the credit of many of these derivitive holding big banks.......

Makes a person wonder about the oracle of Omaha and if in his old age he is not as squeeky clean as his reputation to date has led us to believe.

Then there is the part about a Soros fund recently buying out part of Con Agra's holdings.......

Buffet is just throwing a bone out there to be chewed on.

What say ye?
that might work, but it won't happen, we all know that, plus it wouldn't end the deficit right away, we still have to solve the immediate problems. Maybe if Buffet just gave all his money to the govenment we would make some serious progress.

Buffet is one of the biggest hypocrites alive. He talks about taxes needing to be raised on the wealthy, while he pays himslef 100k to hide from the taxes, all the while keeping his BIG money over seas and out of reach of Uncle Sam. Buffet IS one of the rich elite who he talks about raising taxes on, but he finds ways around it.
