ASB's example was NOT the same thing. His is like saying, what if I bought Pampered Chef products from you, and you paid an assistant for helping with the party, and that assistant turned around and bought a Blizzard with his Amex. Let's be honest - his example was a bit convoluted and hardly fair.

You might as well say, what if the actual dollar bill I used to pay for my kids' m&ms was given by the convenience store owner to tip the pizza boy who then gave it to his buddy to buy pot, gasp, I'm funding drug trafficking, no more m&ms for my kids!!!

Tongue in cheek but a more comparable illustration.

No, I think his point was that we don't have any control over what others do with income they get from our business and how far do we want to take it? Soon, we would be living like the Amish.

He's right about how much actual money from my Pampered Chef business goes into Berkshire Hathaway's charitable giving program. It's entirely possible,and probable, that my tithes and other donations to pro-life groups would exceed what BH gets from my sales.
