Must be nice for Warren Buffet, he’s wealthy enough that he can afford to be a socialist. Problem is, the rest of us poor folks have to suffer the consequences of his advice should anyone be stupid enough to act on it.

Buffet is a classic "looter". He uses the death tax policy to drive people to purchase insurance from his insurance companies. The death tax often forces people to divest property at fire sale prices to cover the tax. Buffet swoops in and buys the distressed property at a substantial discount.

“Must be nice for Warren Buffet, he’s wealthy enough that he can afford to be a socialist.”

If Buffett has the courage of his convictions will he then stand in front of his wealthy Berkshire shareholders at the next annual meeting and ask them to join his socialist crusade to give more of their dividends and capital gains to the government? I doubt it.
