Warren Buffett: A Wealthy Philanthropist with Some Bad Ideas

Foundation Watch





Warren Buffett has a genius for making money but he has some very bad ideas about taxing people who know how to make money. Unfortunately President Obama is listening; having dubbed his tax on the rich and super-rich the “Buffet rule”. Buffet ought to be advocating policies that ensure the creation of more great fortunes instead of trying to punish the successful by calling for higher taxes on their wealth. A smaller government would be less likely to ask the rich for “shared sacrifice.” If he wants to restore America’s prosperity, it’s not too late for him to call for lower taxes and minimal government.
