Why is the world’s third richest man attacking Donald Trump and endorsing Hillary Clinton, the LIAR? Buffett and Hillary – strange bedfellows?
(Two reasons – one, he is a member of this Bush I One World Order and wealth distribution; and, two, he knows Trump’s going to cut the legs out from under these wealthy people who have all of these accountants and lawyers working for them and who are working around the system to make their money like Buffett did. Buffett made his wealth by spoon-feeding his wealth by cheating and not paying his fair share of taxes by using the tax loop holes and now in his old age – feels guilty. Now that he is rich, he is pointing out the loop holes and is making fun of the system. What he is saying is – now that I am rich, you better close the loop holes.)
At a rally in Omaha on Monday, the business icon praised Hillary Clinton for her policies and condemned Donald Trump for refusing to release his tax returns.
(Why would Buffett praise Clinton, who is a proven liar? Buffet has benefitted from the Democrat policies. He has bragged for years that he pays less taxes than his secretary. Instead of bragging – why didn’t he quit using tax loop holes and pay his fair share? No because he wanted to cheat. Why didn’t he work with Congress to close the loop hole that allowed this? No, because that is how he made his money by exploiting the system with his accounts and lawyers which the regular folks are not able to hire.)
(He doesn’t want Trump elected because he knows Trump is a businessman and knows all about these loop holes for the rich whose accountants cheat the average taxpayer and Buffett knows Trump will correct these inequities. )
(Also, why did Buffett wait until he made all of his millions and millions before he made this statement about paying less in taxes than his secretaries. He made his billions first.)
(And, why doesn’t he request that Clinton release her speeches to Wall Street – since he requested that Trump release his tax returns.)
Buffett invoked Trump’s record of bankruptcies and the failure of his only public company, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts, which listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1995. “In 1995, when he offered this company, if a monkey had thrown a dart at the stock page, the monkey would have made on average 150 percent,” Buffet said. “But the people that believed in him, that listened to his siren song, came away losing well over 90 cents on the dollar.”
(Trump used the system like Buffett did – so why is he chastising Trump?)
Buffett, who turns 86 later this month, has long-supported left-leaning causes. But over the past decade-and-a-half, he has fought more loudly for Democrats against Republican proposals. His voice has been especially resonant given that corporate America has long been more friendly with Republicans. But the Oracle of Omaha has thrown money behind a number of liberal candidates and causes, from the campaigns of John Kerry, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to issues like abortion rights and environmental protection.
(Can you image Buffett throwing money behind abortion rights – where in the U.S. these Democrats have killed 1.3 million babies in this countries who were our future work force. and Buffett was backing these abortions. And then – environmental protection – and how has that helped our country – raised the taxes on corporations and then they moved out of the country which caused loss of jobs to the American people. And, Buffett backed all of these policies of Democrats.)
(Buffett has backed Obama and how has that helped our country? This man is on a guilt trip cause he has bilked the American people and wants to justify that guilt by continuing to help the liars and cheaters – who are the Democrat Muslims Socialists.)
(Again, in the end, this man was able to manipulate the system by hiring accountants and lawyers to work the system – so don’t give me this jazz of Buffett being the “Oracle of Nebraska.” Any person backing the cheats and liars like Hillary Clinton has to have the same kind of blood running in his veins.)
Buffett’s most high-profile impact on policy may have been lending his name to an Obama administration proposal to raise the minimum tax rate so that people who make more than $1 million would pay at least 30 percent of their income in taxes, which became known as “the Buffett rule.” Buffett had famously commented that he paid a lower tax rate than his secretary, due to loopholes that allow income from investments to be taxed at a much lower rate than other income.
(Judging by the looks of this photo, he doesn’t seem too happy to endorse her with his head down and walking away. Buffett is a member of the Bush I’s One World Order and wealth distribution. All of these rich folks have their money stashed outside of the country and won’t be affected by Clinton’s participation in this gang of thieves.)
Gene Sperling, who advised Obama at the time as the National Economic Council director and currently advises Clinton’s campaign, had given the billionaire a call to see if he would allow the administration to brand the proposal with his name. “If all the diseases are taken, I’ll take a tax rule,” Buffett quipped.
(Oh! Sure – Buffett will take a tax rule because he, his accountants, and his lawyers, waited until after he made his billions before he pointed out – how he used the tax rules to cheat rather pay his fair share. He is as guilty as Clinton – that why he is backing her.)
“He knew he’d be putting himself in the firing line by letting his name be used for that,” Sperling recalled. The use of Buffett’s name increased the prominence of the proposal, but it also intensified the personal attacks and scrutiny that Buffett received, Sperling said. “So it was not a tiny thing.”
Trump reacted strongly on Tuesday to Buffett’s remarks in Omaha, telling Fox Business Network, “I don’t care much about Warren Buffett.” He added, “He’s been a Hillary fan for a long time and I think that’s fine. Hillary is a disaster.”
Buffett’s support for left-leaning causes hasn’t always been unbridled. He has been a strong advocate for fiscal discipline, for example cautioning against overspending on Social Security. He has also largely refrained from supporting left-leaning super PACs, whose influenced he opposed in principle. (There’s a glaring exception: He donated to a pro-Clinton super PAC in 2014, later saying he didn’t realize it was a super PAC.)
(Saying he didn’t realize it was a SUPER PAC? Oh! Sure. When you get caught – that is a typical answer – did his lawyers and accountants slip up?)
(Fact is – after they cheat their way with Accountants and Lawyers – they, in their old age, get to feeling guilty – so they become Democrats and want to share other people’s money not their own.)
Buffett greatly admired his father, but “grew up in a different world,” said Roger Lowenstein, the author of the biography “Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist.” Born just 10 months after the stock market crash of 1929 and growing up amid the Great Depression, Buffett saw how public investment and welfare programs helped revive the U.S. economy.
His wife, Susie, whom he married in 1952, swayed him somewhat to the left. But Buffett’s break with the Republican Party really came during the Civil Rights era, as he saw the party largely remain on the sidelines in a fight over social injustices, Lowenstein says.
In 1965, Buffett bought a run-down textile mill called Berkshire Hathaway. He rebuilt it, and over the following decades used the profits to create a multibillion-dollar holding company with investments in the insurance industry and some of the country’s best-known consumer brands, including Coca-Cola, Dairy Queen and Fruit of the Loom. In the process, he amassed a personal fortune of more than $60 billion, ranking him as the world’s third-richest man in 2016.
Buffett forged a close relationship with former Washington Post publisher Katherine Graham — he was one of the paper’s biggest investors — which brought him into contact with Washington’s political set during the 1980s and 1990s. Buffett’s biggest initial foray into national politics came in the early 2000s when he joined George Soros and Bill Gates Sr., the father of the world’s richest man, in criticizing President George W. Bush’s proposal to cut taxes by $1.6 trillion over the next 10 years.
(Can you imagine being a friend of George Soros – Hiltler’s side kick? That tells you a lot.)
Bush had proposed doing away with the estate taxes levied on the net worth of an individual when they die, a change Buffett said would result in an enduring aristocracy of the wealthy. He famously criticized the measure as akin to ”choosing the 2020 Olympic team by picking the eldest sons of the gold-medal winners in the 2000 Olympics.”
He went on to serve as an economic adviser to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s campaign for California governor in 2003 and John Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004. In 2006, Buffett once again made headlines by giving 85 percent of his wealth — then more than $37 billion — to charity. The bulk went to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, while a smaller sum went to foundations variously set up in the name of his late wife and run by his three children, which supported causes like antinuclear proliferation and education for low-income children.
Buffett has long been a supporter of Hillary Clinton, backing her Senate campaign in 2000 — and his previous statements suggest he likes the idea of a female president. Buffett has said that one reason for his success was that he was only competing with half the population.
But Buffett also appears to support Clinton’s broader economic vision for the country. “He grew up in egalitarian Nebraska, where there were very few rich people, and with the exception of the Depression, most people were middle class,” says Lowenstein. “He cares about retaining that quality in American society.”
Buffet’s office did not respond to a request for comment for this article.
At the Omaha rally on Monday, Buffett strove to present his biography as a counterweight to Donald Trump’s success story. He drew parallels between his own life and Trump’s as he rebuked the candidate for criticizing the Muslim American parents of an Army officer who was killed in Iraq. “Donald Trump and I haven’t sacrificed anything,” he said, noting that no member of the Buffett or Trump family had gone to Iraq or Afghanistan.
He also challenged Trump to release his tax returns, something Trump had previously declined to do, citing an ongoing audit. Buffett, who said he is also being audited, promised to release his tax returns if Donald Trump would.
Buffett assured the gathering in Omaha that their votes mattered, especially due to Nebraska’s quirky electoral college rules. Unlike most states, Nebraska allows its districts to award electoral college votes to different parties, meaning the more liberal city of Omaha has sometimes diverged from the sea of red that makes up the rest of Nebraska to award a vote to the Democratic Party.
Buffett committed to personally driving at least 10 people to the polls in November. The octogenarian businessman is still famous for driving himself to work every morning.
“He is the only person of his stature who when he says, ‘Can I get you a ride to the airport?’ means can I get my car from the garage and personally drive you to the airport,” said Sperling, laughing. “So you can imagine the difference between him and Donald Trump and their style.”
(So, because he drives Sperling or someone to the airport himself makes him the “Oracle of Nebraska? Give the American people a break from this hog wash. He is just like all of the rich folks, they use lawyers – liars, politicians, and accountants to their advantage and then want to impose the real rules on the people. He knows that Trump can, MAKE AMERICAN GREAT AGAIN, using the same rules these cheaters are using against Americans. The difference is Trump is for the people and Buffett is for Obama and Hillary who have taken our country to a new low with the rich people and Buffett’s help.)
God Bless Donald Trump and with God’s help – America will help Trump win against these liars and cheaters. Americans know that Trump is working to help them and not these rich folks.)
