I have mentioned the legendary investor Warren Buffet before. It was in the context of him trying to persuade us that our income tax regime is wildly skewed in favor of the "rich" and that the "rich" should pay more taxes. He tried to make the case that his assistant who makes about $100K per year pays more taxes than he does. It is probably true, but it does not do anything in furtherance of his point. His comparison, as I explained, was apples to oranges. (You will have to scroll to the last entry on the linked page to read the post.)
I mention in the post that, in my opinion Buffet is a liar.
He has recently sought fit to opine on the current hot-button issue of immigration.
Here too Buffet is being deceptive. He says, " “Well, immigration, this country is built on it. I always say to people
that are anti-immigration, ‘let’s put it in retroactively.’ And
everybody leaves,” the 86-year-old billionaire said on a panel with his
friend Bill Gates on Friday at Columbia University in New York."
Do you know, or have you ever known anyone for whom you have any respect at all who is anti-immigration? I didn't think so. I haven't either. So why does he misrepresent the issues? Why would the other panelists or audience members not point out that the issues actually being discussed are illegal immigration and immigration from failed Muslim states so we could hear Buffet's opinions on the actual issues? I don't know either.
I find it impossible to believe that he does not know what the issues actually are. I think he is doing what liberals always do. Ridicule people who don't agree with them in the hope of embarrassing them into silence.
You want more Trump? This is how you get more Trump.
