Why Doesn't Warren Buffet Shut up and Write a Check?

Over the years Buffet has repeatedly called for an increase in the death tax. Why? He owns life insurance companies that employ estate planners who advise their clients on how to avoid the death tax. Increasing it enriches uncle Warren.

Warren netted billions by investing in Goldman Sachs just before the government bailed it out. He is planning investments in ethanol giant ADM and Defense contractor General Dynamics. Why does Warren love government spending? He profits greatly from it.

Even those who criticize Buffet are gentle about it. They're all afraid of him. I'm sure the tax cheats at the Treasury Department would deposit his check. Write it.

Truly a dozen conflicts of interest, Jimmy. Why is it that you can elucidate such realities but the Republicans in Congress cannot?

In the interest of full disclosure, I found it all right here:

And I regret not noting that originally...

Jimmy no worries. No thought, ultimately, is ever original (see Ecclesiastes).

In the meantime the Republicans need to grow a spine and dress down the Buffets and the Immelts of the world who simply profit from their supposedly altruistic liberal leanings.
