Buffett Shuns Super PAC Contributions While Backing Obama By Margaret Collins May 5, 2012 9:00 PM PT Warren Buffett, the world’s third- richest man and a supporter of President Barack Obama, faulted campaign-finance rules that allow unlimited contributions and said he won’t donate to a super political action committee. “I don’t want to see democracy go in that direction,” Buffett said yesterday at the annual shareholders meeting of his Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/A) in Omaha, Nebraska. “You have to take a stand some place.” bloomberg.com We dug through Federal Election Commission and Internal Revenue Service records and found that Adelson and his wife, Miriam, spent at least $98 million this election cycle. The money went to at least 34 different candidates and groups, with contributions ranging from $2,000 for a Florida congressional candidate to $30 million for Restore Our Future [3], the super PAC that supported Mitt Romney. propublica.org Remember what you are setting out to defend... "There's another piece of data that needs to be spread . . . the richest 85 or the top-1% are mostly liberal Democrats!" That means 45 Dems in the richest 85 people in the world, or 51 out of The 100.
