Woops. You dropped your context. Here, let me brush it off for you.

He’s not just saying the quiet part out loud. He’s deliberately pointing it out as a bad thing. WB is a billionaire and none are fully ethical, but at least give the full story. This is how misinformation spreads

There are a lot of people who don’t know the context. Basically Buffett has been advocating for higher taxes on billionaires for decades, possibly longer than many of his younger critics have been alive.

He doesn’t donate much money to politicians though. It’s all going to charity. Although, isn’t that a good thing?

In my opinion, on a macro level, charity is a bandaid solution.

Careful. The people here don’t take kindly to gray-areas.

Edit: Thanks for proving my point, Tankies. As reliable as always.

But they only call it “class warfare” when the poor fight back. Otherwise it is just “business as usual.”
