One of my sisters used to work for one of Warren Buffet’s companies. The guy he put in charge turned out to be a crook, and went to jail for embezzlement. Let’s just say Warren may be good at picking stocks, but judging character is not something you can count on him getting right. Maybe associating with crooks is part of his wealth management plan?

And just how much did the Clinton’s give to charity last year? What percentage of their millions did they part with for the common good?

Hypocrite Hillary.
No one chases after money as much as she and her cheating husband.
I have no words to describe how sick I am of the Clinton's.
If Hillary becomes president in 2009 I will never ever vote again.

Just let the Kids have all their parents money, It's gonna end up in Drugs and Rehab Therapy anyway.
As many people on the rich side, said: Giving a 21 year old a large trust fund, is the biggest De-motivator and ends up in their demise. Unfortunately some of them are leading the country.

It’s Hillary’s and the rest of the commie-crats’ intention to put as much downward forcing on labor paychecks as possible by flooding the labor market with cheap immigrant labor while also raising the government mandated minimum wage. The idea is to put as many workers as possible on the “one wage” and this is a great strategy for achieving this.
When Jeff Sessions brought the economic experts to his hearing this year, during the amnesty attempt, the liberal economic professors amongst them admitted that this is the goal. They admitted that importing cheap labor drives down ALL workers’ wages and said that this should be counterbalanced by minimum wage increases.
It should be any easy issue for Republicans to beat the Democrats over the head with but unfortunately the Republicans, at least the ones with the power, like the idea of driving down workers wages but without the counterbalance. A politician who is in favor of draining the labor pool by evicting the illegals, thereby making all citizen labor much more valuable, would be in a great position to win the votes of the working and middle class.

Buffett conveniently circumvented the prospect of paying estate tax when he dies, by donating his money to the Gates Foundation. A nice gesture on his part, but very telling. As much as he preaches about the government needing more of our money to re-distribute, he knows that a private foundation will do a much better job of managing and distributing the money than the government.
Still, there is something ironic about Buffett giving his money to the only guy in the country who actually has more than he does.

"Buffett needs to donate his money to the poor."
Amen! He needs to be like Andrew Carnegie and give it away before he dies, until then he can STFU about using the government to force everyone else to give the government all their money when they die.

HOw much of Clinton’s and Buffett’s money is in tax-exempt foundations or other corporate shelters? I’m sure VERY little of their money is actually in their taxable estates.

Interesting... folks with tons of money basically saying that money is not all that and a bag of chips.
B.J. took office with basically nothing (not even his own house)... and nearly 16 years later he and Hildabeast are multi-millionaires.
The "Oracle of Omaha" and B.J. need to shut their pie holes.

Buffet said Republicans, who have led the effort to repeal the tax, "are going to keep the farmers out in front of the argument" as a public-relations ploy. Amazing that the democRATS keep claiming to be the party of the "little people" yet they think nothing of selling off the family farm to pay estate taxes when the farmer dies and leaves it to his children.
