    Thank you to Howard G. Buffett!

    I am glad that Howard Buffett has a sober understanding of how the russians operate. They will not engage in good faith unless you demonstrate that you are able and willing to fuck them up.

    I have mixed feelings about this headline. On the one hand, it’s good to see this much money going to a good cause. On the other hand, I firmly oppose the ability of any one person to control this much money.

      I also hate that it just moves forward this idea of “individuals and charities will pick up the slack” when they dismantle everything good the government does.

      They shouldn’t exist to begin with, workers should get a bigger share and products should be cheaper. Taxes money aren’t necessarily used for good especially when you have a bunch of fascists at the government.

    So if Warren wants to do the morally correct thing why doesn’t he hire assassins to kill the bad billionaires?

      A good person turning into a billionare by accident would donate all his extra money away as soon as he gets them. There aren’t any good billionares.

      Most people prefer to stay out of prison.

    All billionaires deserve the vast majority of their wealth to be seized, but I vote we spare this one the guillotine.
