My apologies to Warren Buffett

A great opinion piece from Warren Buffett – it’s quite short and well worth a read.

It’s truly amazing to see that the mega-rich have no objection to being taxed at a higher rate….including on their capital gains. I have to make amends and apologize for my belief, stated in an earlier post, that this was all talk! It appears that Buffett and many of his billionaire friends are actually decent people who would genuinely like to pay higher taxes to help “so many of their fellow citizens {who} are truly suffering.”
It has left me wondering, though, who exactly are the legislators in Washington coddling? I suspect the Wall Street money men feature high on the list.
