  2. The guy is miser. He clings to money. He lives in a house built in 1955 as such etc and used to drive his own old beat up clunker around town.

    IF you want to know he is worth 20 x Donald Trump, whose net worth is just around 2 billion (while he inflates and boasts it).

  3. Yeah he certainly does.

    He still picks stocks circling it in the newspaper. He does not have a laptop or computer proficiency. He probably rides his bicycle to the corner liquor store and sits in the parking lot circling stocks in the Sunday newspaper.

  4. I thought Trump's net worth was negative. Maybe that was a few years ago.

  5. he'll be the first to tell anyone that he doesn't buy stocks, he buys businesses.

    he's a cult figure and so be it... he did it right.

    he lives in Omaha, far away from wall street, which has served him well.

    you can be driven to wall street in a $100 cab ride and leave on a $75,000 bus.

    let him support hillary, the only conservative left in either party....

  7. the green vomit against the wall is when Billy Clinton and the Buffets of the world, get up in front of "the common people" and mock the system that put them where they are....

    which is the guilt trip confession that rich liberals use to cleanse their conscience before they pass on....

    if they really care about the little folks, they wouldn't set up the trust accounts needed to fund their legacy and bypass the "unfortunates"

    you just gotta make up for the bicycle runs to get ice cream....

  9. O, the cluelessness.

    I agree with those who say that Buffet is well beyond these internet posters combined. Someone once said, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

    Watching the neo-poor rail against a multibillionnaire as some kind of bozo and a putz, is like watching dung beetles arguing over the latest deposit from an elephant.

  10. The Gates/Buffett trust objectives seem to be trying to increase the populations of regions that can't support the current population. In other words they won't die of whatever disease Gates is trying to cure - they'll die of malnutrition in a hovel instead. Or they'll start more regional wars with each other over scarce resources. Great job Bill and Melinda.

    Definitely liberal guilt trip money.
