I dont get it.... ...WHY are you even making this an argument with me??? If you want to argue... go argue with Warren Buffet. I'M JUST TELLING YOU WHAT HE SAID. Are you trying to change what he said or re-interpret it to fit your worldview? He said his wealth was built on the backbones of proletariats such as yourself... and that is why he is giving it back. He feels it rightfully belongs to those who created it. DAMN, how hard is that to wrap your self-inflated mind around? 30 years ago or so when he wrote that he had only a fraction of the wealth he has today. He didnt. at the time, know how he would redistribute it... only that he WOULD give it back to the society that produced it. Look... if you bought 10,000 shares of APPLE in the 80's when it was 3 bucks a share and held them until today you would have 560,000 shares today and your $30,000 investment would be worth $63,369,600 today (hey, you could buy that diamond). The fact is... if you didnt touch the shares the value created via the stock would be the result of the labor of tens of thousands of people... NOT YOUR OWN. Buffet never gave himself excessive credit and was always frank about his failures. He is probably the greatest philanthropist in human history. It never ceases to amaze me how thousandaires and millionaires such as yourself think they are so much smarter than Billionaires like Buffet.
