“There’s class warfare, all right,” Mr. Buffett said, “but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” – Warren Buffet, NY Times 11/26/2006
The “aura” of Warren Buffet is nothing more than the epitome of Orwellian propaganda. Nothing is but what is not. What Buffet “is not” is a good-ole rags to riches boy who has fulfilled the American dream. Warren Buffet is the quintessential mascot of American hypocrisy, criminality and political corruption.
