hes one of the few who understands whats going on is ultimately bad even for his class. that he and other of the super rich would be better off with less wealth they can’t spend in a better functioning society.

important context is that Buffett said this was a problem

Yet he still insists on remaining a hectobillionaire, profiting obscenely off of the very system that incentivizes the war.

Until that changes, he deserves as much credit as Shell does for pretending to want to decrease emissions.

Further, in conversation it came up that Mr. Buffett doesn’t use any tax planning at all. He just pays as the Internal Revenue Code requires. “How can this be fair?” he asked of how little he pays relative to his employees. “How can this be right?”

Even though I agreed with him, I warned that whenever someone tried to raise the issue, he or she was accused of fomenting class warfare.

“There’s class warfare, all right,” Mr. Buffett said, “but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”

yeah imagine trying to snopes us without even reading the snopes

If he is not cold, hungry, tired, alone, homeless, or dying of a curable disease then he is fucking gloating.
