Buffett can do whatever he wants with his money. You are assuming it will be of more help to people than I am.
Anything he wants with his money except buy legislation to take money from me against my will. All this "raising awareness" crap is code for lobbying to get laws passed and government programs kicked off. Everybody knows some people are poor. At least Buiffett is willing to come off his own money, unlike most.
A conservative should know there are very few problems remedied by throwing money at them. Poverty is one of them.
Not true, but it has to be thrown in a wise way that never occurred to government. Check out Grameen Bank's microcredit loans, as they have pulled a lot of enterprising people out of poverty. However, those loans are about enabling people to help themselves (basically, using capitalism as the vehicle), not just throwing money at them indiscriminately as government normally does (using socialism).
