The problem is, Warren Buffet wasn't advocating higher taxes until
he'd already managed the #1 spot and had already accumulated his
wealth.
When someone is that greedy and powerful and then *after* they've
"gotten theirs" they advocate policies that would prevent anyone else
from knocking them off the perch, you have to wonder, is this a real
philosophy on their part that they genuinely believe in, or are they
using their influence to advocate policies that help consolidate their
power even more?
After all, when you eliminate competition, the big boys become even
*more* powerful. Believe me, Soros, Buffet and the like, all realize
that.
Why the media goes after the wealthy that don't advocate in that way,
is beyond me. They act like they just want to be greedy and get even
more money. Even a tighwad power hungry jerk like Buffet realizes
that at some point, more just doesn't matter. That's why he craves
the power now. Same with Soros.
I practically go apoplectic with the left's refusal to acknowledge
that Soros, Buffet and the like are the very emodiment of what they
claim is bad or evil about wealth and companies. And that's not even
to say there aren't individuals and corporations on the right that
aren't just as bad, but giving Buffet and Soros a pass simply because
they write opinion pieces or fund think tanks that support your
agenda, is ridiculous, and it's total hypocrisy.
They have the luxury of supporting the left's class warfare, because
when the dust clears, not only will they remain on top, but there will
be no one left to challenge them.
