Polls regularly show that investor Warren Buffett is one of the most trusted men in America.
What a crock. The man is an imposter, a four-flusher and a humbug. And I can prove it.
If you’re skeptical, maybe that’s because - like mushrooms - you’ve been kept in the dark and fed a lot of horse manure.
Too many people believe what they hear in the mainstream media. They listen to the lying politicians - that’s 98% of them - in both parties. And they swallow a lot of nonsense from self-styled investment “experts.â€
(I’ll have a lot more to say on that subject in future columns.)
You might be one of them. In fact, here’s a quick test: Who is the bigger louse, Warren Buffett or Tiger Woods?
If you said Woods, get serious.
Yeah, Buffett is sitting on a pile of dough, about $67 billion at last count.
But having a lot of money doesn’t make you great. I’m a one-percenter myself. So what? Money isn’t the measure of a man. You can never be so rich that somebody can’t call you a jackass. And be dead right about it.
Buffett has a great track record. There’s no denying that. But he’s also a hypocrite. He believes successful business people should pay a lot more in taxes.
Just not him personally.

This is the clown that said he pays less in taxes than his secretary, and it’s why we need to raise taxes.
Buffett is a Establishment/Globalist predictor.
He is the single biggest single person recipient of the 2008 TARP that 95% of the public was against. I can’t think of any other bill in congress that 95% of the public was in agreement?
Buffett is also a major player that helped the Administration block the Keystone pipeline because it would have hurt his train business. Buffett’s trains run the oil out of Canada into the Western Coast for ships to China.
Buffett is not the “old shucks” nice guy he likes to portray himself as.
World class leftist douche.
My sister in law tried to argue with my wife a while back on what a great philanthropist Buffet is. She was 100% unaware that she’s been snookered
Buffet a con man? Hell yes he is. If anyone has driven across the state of Iowa recently it’s covered in windmills. All owned by buffet and mid-american energy. Funded by the taxpayer in order to make them profitable. Lots of carbon credits to be sold from them as well. He also used the c Nebraska courts to tie up keystone pipeline. Gave odumbo cover in his ok to tax the rich, in exchange for further hold ups and denial of permits. Of course his Bnsf railroads are left hauling the oil. Like perot he’s never met a govt program or Pol wasnt willing to take advantage of. When you have 65 billion, you get lots of people willing to do your bidding. Portrays himself as just a kindly old grandpa but is ruthless Pol licking taxpayer f&&&ING bastard as any of them
Of course the question is where does the shame lie? With the con man or with those who allow themselves to be conned?
I’d love to inject Lloyd Blankfein with sodium pentathol and ask him about his dealings with The Oracle.
He got 10% of Goldman for a song in that mess.
Buffet: a kinder, gentler version of george soros with a nicer smile.
Back in the late 90’s, I had $47K in AOL stock which I’d purchased for $1700. Sadly, I didn’t have the sense to cash it in and take my profit at the time.
I had a friend that was hot for JDS which trading $285 a share.
At the time I had gone through a rather nasty divorce and needed to build a retirement account, getting old.
So I looked at the numbers and then I started looking at the numbers of the rest of the Tech companies. I sold all of my investments in June of 2000.
Paid off my house and all of my bills, the friend who recommended JDS is still working. Aside from that AOL sucked from the start,
For the super rich, it is much easier to go through life telling everyone you are a liberal. You never hear the left railing about Buffett or Bill Gates having too much accumulated wealth. Instead, they are perceived as such good people.
I don’t care what Buffett has to say about taxes or anything else for that matter. I invested in Berkshire Hathaway decades ago and it has done very well.
Wonder if his supporting Hillary is payback for cancellation of the pipeline?
... or all the nuts ...

As "economic man" working to increase his wealth he's pretty straightforward.
If you think he's got some idealistic motivations he's a hypocrite ...
... or maybe you're just wrong for believing that he's more than what he obviously is ...
