  1. Thats the most brilliant post I've seen on ET in a while. You should post it in its own thread.

    income inequality is something that is happening world wide. whats that has to do with bashing rich people on TV so you can get love from the crowd

  3. What you refer to is irresponsibility at the individual level. A fine observation on your part. Buffet merely referred to irresponsibility at the institutional level. True, individuals should know better. But institutions should DAMN WELL know better. Why is it that you can make the one observation but he can't make the other? (Are you trying to attract the kind of attention that you are accusing him of?)

    well, heres the difference. I'm not willing to take your freedoms, go along with society's hate based on bank account size or confiscate your property to get the attention.

  6. I have no idea where this is coming from. Did it perhaps occur to you, given your earlier post about individual irresponsibility, that you exhibit a similar "hate" based on (a different) account size as well? Perhaps it's only "hate" when someone else is doing it, eh?
