Your Say
I know a pilot for NetJets, the leader in private "fractional" luxury jet taxi. 170 countries, 285,000 flights a year. He flew the Sutlan of Brunei, and Arnold, while he was still Governator.
Guess who owns NetJets, lock, stock, and barrel?

Buffet, like many successful businessmen is too arrogant to believe that he can't successfully negotiate or deal with fascists, be they Mussolini, Hitler, Obama, or the King of Saudi Arabia.

Warren Boof-ay is People's Exhibit #1 of the fact that even people who can do the extraordinary and the astonishing, can be complete boobs on most other subject matters.
#2 on the list is Stephen Hawking, #3 is Bill Gates; there are thousands of others, and all of them have too much power.

You will note that most of Buffett’s comments are about himself (sort of like Obama). He’s not so much defending the tax treatment of corporate aircraft as defending himself. That’s his shtick and he’s sticking to it.

If you wish to hear a real shriek, tell those Poobahs, you agree with the Bamster confiscating ALL their wealth to help offset the national debt. And you believe they should be happy to help out.
