He's a financial advisor (if this is true) not an advisor on social issues like abortion. The second-richest man in the world just might have some good ideas to help salvage California. And he made his fortune himself. I don't like Buffet but he may have something beneficial to contribute on the most desperate of all issues for the state.

I think Ivan Boesky is more qualified.

Will a financial advisor have a say in recommending that California fund Planned Parenthood or not? What would Buffett suggest if asked for his financial advice? (Hint: he is perhaps the largest personal contributor to Planned Parenthood).

Like what? Everything I know he's said indicates just the opposite. He is just another wealthy CEO who thinks squeezing the middle class is the road to riches (and it is, for them).

Milton Freidman, Larry Kudlow and other supply siders know how to fix California. It is no big secret what to do.

If true this is a shoot over the bow.

"We will Raise taxes on middle - Upper/Middle income Families. We will raise long term business taxes."

Buffet has his money, but believes in the socialist ideology. The U.S.S.R. had plenty of "Rich" guys that endorsed the "system", they were protected.
