Okay, so a wealthy man such as Warren Buffett is not to be commended for his generous gifts, because the fact that he had such wealth highlights gaps between rich and poor?


Should we all just become communists then? Not sure where they are coming from here, or what exactly the complaint is.

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.

Then only the high-ranking party officials will be rich. Fidel Castro is one of the richest men in the world.
