I lost my respect for Buffet, just like that.

The ass has the audacity to say that Americans' must do the "right thing" by handing over 1000 or 2000 billion dollars, and expect zero (0.00000 percent of profits) in return.

And then he "invests" .005 trillion dollars and expects a handsome return.

Ah, if 1-2 trillion for nothing in return is the 'right thing' then isn't .005 trillion for nothing *also* the right thing?

If this were England we were bailing out with taxpayer money, there's no question we'd get a *huge* piece of the pie.

If this bailout money came *from* England, there's no question that THEY would get a huge piece of he pie. Or from communists, say from PRC.

The don't like that they gambled away all their marbles, and if they get taxpayer money as an equity stake, the majority owner in many of these banks and investment houses would be the US taxpayer, so we'd get the majority of profits, too. Hey, no fair!! Waaaaa! Mommy! I lost all my marbles and Jimmy won't give 'em back!! Waaaa! Try that in Vegas, dude.

No, these rich bastards want to get a mulligan, and they want somebody *else* to pay for it.
