To: the invisib1e hand
You know the thing that's so laughable about the Buffets is how they talk the talk, but do not walk the walk.

It's all hot air! The Buffets have all the power to turn their fortunes over to the government or directly hand them out to poor people, upper middle class raised students with massive student loan debt, rich kids with useless degrees and no job prospects, or whatever. BUT—THEY DO NOT.

Talk, talk, talk. Like a parrot. All sound and no fury. And the Left, democrats, and big media eat it up.

Reminds me of a Jesus parable:

Mark 10

17 Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” 18 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”[a] 20 And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.” 21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” 22 But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

The only thing is the Buffets aren't sad, as no one has the courage to tell them to give it all to the poor if they're so concerned.

To: Alas Babylon!

Exactly . .They want to enjoy the wealth and ego but are too selfish and cheap to do it during lifetime. Why not share their money and manaagement? Do it pro bono for schools and nonprofits?

But no, these greedy bastards want the fame and fortune while their living, breathing hypocrites.

Share the wealth, you hypocrites. I dare you.
