Not to be outdone by his partner Charlie Munger (who offended many with his comments that "gold is a great thing to sew onto your garments if you're a Jewish family in Vienna in 1939,"), Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett - having already taken on Europe, comparing Greece to a "dog peeing on the carpet" of Europe, suggesting Germany stop "rewarding behavior you want to get rid of" - takes aim at the military. Speaking on Bloomberg TV, the octagenerian oracle of offense just unfriended every American veteran...
"You want everybody educated to their potential. You want people to reach their potential. That still won't work for some people in a highly developed market system.
I mean if this were a sports-based system, you could give me a PhD in football, and I could practice eight hours a day, and I might be able to carry the water from, not onto the field, but from the locker room to the bench. There's just some people don't fit well into a highly skilled market-based economy.
They're perfectly decent citizens. We'll send them off to Afghanistan, but they are not going to command a big price."
* * * So just the words of a funny old man who is losing his marbles, or an elitist "crony" oligarch who knows there are no consequences for his words or actions?
On the bright side, at least he did not mention illegal immigrants.

Just another Democrat like Bill Clinton who said he loathed the military. They begrudge every dollar spent on defense because they’d rather make some really big bucks through the government’s crony deals for campaign donors.
Why do plutocratic scum always fall back on eliminating the “udesirables?”
The elitist political class and their oligarchs are outdoing Marie Antoinette with their contempt for the people they rule over. The military has always been one of the most honored and respected professions in western civilization. Only an out of touch fool ignorant of history would spurn them or diminish their value.
I’d like to have a face to face meeting with the bastard.
I never liked that phony bastard. I can’t believe the number of people who actually fall for his act.
Is that you Liz Claman after the bell.
So sayeth rent-seeker Warren.
Well Warren certainly doesn’t have any issues taking their hard earned money. Keep ye poor keeps ye on the plantation and he has just the place to live to sell ye. CMH {a stock market corporate abbreviation} http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/news/apr0103.pdf
Silly me I fergets to tells ye da best part. He loans us stupid fellers money too https://www.vmf.com/about_us/index.cfm
..And the citizens that do bother to learn and take a hard majors in college, STEM major, look forward to being under cut by H-1B visa imported scabs with the blessing of douche bags gloBULLists like Buffet et al.
Someone needs to teach this old sob a real lesson.
Who would have thunk it? < /s >
All I can say is: if the shit hits the fan, there’ll be some people who will never, ever. have enough money to buy protection from justice.
Gold is too heavy. It was gemstones that were sewn into the hems of garments. That was done because the Nazis confiscated all the valuables, especially gold, from Jews and other undesirable refugees.
There are many more of us useless eaters than of him. We’ll send his you know what to Afghanistan. He’d be a fine Mullah.
“And it’s one, two, three
Who are we fightin’ for
Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn
Next stop is Afghanistan
And it’s five, six, seven......”
You do what you’re told, you play by the rules, you fight, you die, you work and carry the rest on your back. And the liberal-left ruling class piss on your broken body.
Same as it ever was.
I no longer pledge allegiance, my enemy is within. Down with the eagle and up with the Cross. I am in rebellion.
Having money doesn’t make you smart. Here’s proof.
slime?....he’s a complete ass...
I don't believe in this "producers" crap....maybe in the time of Henry Ford..our present day ultra rich are money changers and nothing else...
