Buffett, in particular, praised "'the critical role' that he said the

Buffet is a good investor but a hore**** economist.

So replace it with a society of parsites. Yeah, like socialism was so
successful at creating economic growth!


(NY Times
interview, Feb. 14, 2001). "Mr. Buffett said repealing the estate tax
'would
be a terrible mistake,' the equivalent of 'choosing the 2020 Olympic team
by picking the eldest sons of the gold-medal winners in the 2000
Olympics.'"


The same Buffet who praised income tax hikes while paying mostly (90%?) Cap
Gains?
