I guess he got “the call”.....
how does a guy who has made billions of dollars suddenly become a Marxist?
Buffet’s primary company is insurance.
He wants obamacare dollars to come to him!
Because he doesn’t want any competition from middle class upstarts who might pull him down from his lofty perch.
The altra-rich left wing morons don’t pay for anything.
Another Leona Helmsley moment.
By depending on a Marxist president to prop up his financial empire.
Rush said that he made the statement in 2010 and it got reported as a new thing.
http://moneymorning.com/ob-article/obamacare-buffett.php "We have a health system that, in terms of costs, is really out of control," he added. "And if you take this line and you project what has been happening into the future, we will get less and less competitive. So we need something else."
He also added:
"Attack the costs first, and then worry about expanding coverage," he said. "I would much rather see another plan that really attacks costs. And I think that's what the American public wants to see. I mean, the American public is not behind this bill."
Sorry, Warren. I think the interpretation of what you said is accurate. You should have thought of that before you said it.
Now, Obama is going to approve the Keystone pipeline and you won't keep the monopoly Obama promised for rail transit of oil from the Dakotas and Canada.
When Obama promised him the Keystone pipeline will be blocked.
You see, Warren's railroad holdings currently make a lot of money transporting that oil to refineries in Texas.
Do you really think he made those comments about his secretary's income taxes, without an incentive?
I fundamentally disagree, not with the facts but with the Buffet interpretation. If we are going to have increased productivity, leading to increased individual income, where could it be spent better than on better medical care? Given a choice of more trinkets from China, more food from Arthur Daniels Midland, or better medical treatment to improve quality of life, I find that a no-brainer. I'd like to see 80% or 90% of increases in individual incomes go to improving our individual medical care.
As with so many crises, the facts are being twisted. We are spending sensibly, based on enlightened self-interest, as one would expect with individual decisions, but the liberals are pretending that our rational choices are a crisis as an excuse to grab a large chunk of the GNP that they can control and dole out to their connected donors. We certainly do need reform to remove the perverse incentives created by the previous government interventions in these same decisions, but we don't need socialized medical care, even if we could remove the death panels. We especially don't need the crony-capitalist train wreck called ObamaCare.
IMHO, Weekly Standard/Bill Kristol have some explainin' to do.
Marxist - no, crony capitalist - yes.
Yes absolutely...marxists are poor...crony capitalists are rich.
More importantly, he thinks his stance on issues will save him if/when the mob is at his doorstep. He’s wrong.
"Nice little railroad ya got there."
Whose turn is it to use the brain cell today?
I can see that might create some friction among the Biden folkls.
Oops. This was to go on the thread over :).
