I don't have enough background to comment on whether Everett's advice is good or bad, but he sure has Buffett's number. Warren Buffett is not only a World-Class Con Man, he's a World-Class Hyprocrite as well. Taxes aren't high enough for you me; they never are. But he has ways to avoid paying most of them unavailable to us mere peasants.

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.

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

Back in the late 90’s I was going to buy 4 shares of Buffett’s class A shares at $30,000 a share. The same stock is worth $285,000 a share. I think I screwed up.

Buffet: a kinder, gentler version of george soros with a nicer smile.

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.

... or just another squirrel trying to get a nut

... 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 ...
