More likely Buffett owns corporate jet builders/operators.

Buffett has a good PR agent; he may pretend to be the altruistic good citizen, but his positions on any issue can always be predicted by his own financial interests.

Berkshire Hathaway, Buffet's company, own NetJets; they own and operate over 800 aircraft.

Collectivist Billionaires-the smart and savvy- are unaware to the fact that just because you are loaded with money does not mean you understand the concept 'if you eat your future today you will starve to death tomorrow'.

This is why I am less interested in smart and savvy palm-greasing businessmen running for President, they haven't integrity or ethics.

Buffett is a mast hypocrite, looking for every angle to make money. His only principle is make money. He decried options as "wmd's" then invested in billions of dollars worth. He decries his taxes versus the common man but then shields all his family's wealth and inheritance in "charitable trusts" thus ensuring tax free living and salaries for him and his family for generations. When he talks make sure you check your wallet after leaves.

A self-identified rube is still a rube. Anyone who didn't see Obama for what he was/is is class-A moron.

Oh Nooooo, my god...he wants to make money? How awful.. What do you expect the businessman to do...give it to YOU apparently. So, he is a smart and avoids as many taxes as possible.

And your policy is to what exactly...to pay as much tax as possible? Then YOU are the rube. Buffet provides jobs for hundreds of thousands of folks. What do you do exactly?

What a group of a^^hats. The usual commie Democrat Left.

For years, I have always called him Potter.
The name fits.

Buffett is all in favor of higher taxes for other people, which makes him part of the commie Democrat Left. I sure as hell don't belong to that group.

Buffett is also a textbook regulatory captor: despite his aw-shucks public image, he is a hypocrite -- advocating higher taxes even as he throws money at Democratic politicians to ensure that he and his companies will not be touched by them.
