Why I Like Him
The new Forbes list is out and Warren Buffet is #1, the richest guy in the world.
More on his feelings about taxes:
In October, Buffett issued a challenge to members of the Forbes 400 richest Americans list, saying he would donate $1 million to charity if the collective group (or a significant number of them) would admit they pay less taxes, as a percentage of income, than their secretaries.
Days after issuing the challenge, Buffett appeared before Congress to encourage it to keep the estate tax. Armed with a few Forbes 400 issues, he told the hearing that “dynastic wealth, the enemy of a meritocracy, is on the rise.”
Buffet believes that people and businesses need to earn their money, not simply accumulate it over time.

Not only is he the richest person in the world another reason to like him is that he thinks the Shrub is a dick head.
All along the way he earned his money, and he is a true capitalist, not a corporate pretender.
