Between Buffett, Soros and Steyer, the dems and their causes pull in some major billionaire buck$... yet the libs and their "media" are fond of calling the GOP the "Party of the 1%."
I wish Obama had listened to his boy, Buffett, and raised his taxes, a lot. “The rich” using their money to murder babies makes me sick.
boycott all businesses the murderous Buffet owns
Wow..being wealthy sometimes has no connection to being moral.
In the article, I see 300 million to Planned Parenthood - what other abortion organizations get the other 900 million? UN agencies?
Eugenics by another name. These characters know the high % of abortions in the black ghettos and Hispanic barrios.
They put the focus on “choice” for middle class, predominantly white, educated, middle to upper class women who have time/resources to lobby and become engaged politically on the issue. But in reality what they want to do is reduce the population grown of the poor/underprivileged/minorities. They can’t be honest enough to say that publicly.
Well this is how he gets away with insider trading, just act like a lib.

The article says the author can be contacted on Facebook and Twitter as dangainor. You might want to ask.
“boycott all businesses the murderous Buffet owns”
Which include:
—Geico Insurance
—Berkshire-Hathaway Real Estate (took over Roach/fox I think)
—Oriental Trading Company (a novelty company many churches use for VBS & Sunday School crafts)
Only the last will be hard for me; I was just advised Rhode Island Novelty Company is an alternative. The real estate company has listings everywhere in this area.
Indeed Warren Buffett should be sent the result of his donation.
Maybe that’s how Buffet feeds his lizard?
Bill Gates as well is a huge supporter of abortion. So, between pushing abortion and pushing Common Core on us, he is using his money for evil purposes.
“boycott all businesses the murderous Buffet owns”
Good idea. Do you know the names of any of them?

“refer to post 11 ..”
