Gallery: Father and Son: Warren Buffett and Peter Buffett
Warren Buffett has stated that he will leave enough money to his kids so that they can do anything but not enough that they can do nothing. Also, I don't agree with the Gates' foundation philosophy of saving the world but not contributing anything to the country that allowed them the opportunity to become wealthy. Carnegie, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Morgan, etc. all contributed to this country to help the next generation. The Gates Foundation is doing its best to push its agenda against public education towards a utopian, pie in the sky morphing of their version of what education should be. Seems more politically driven than altruistic.
i have nothing to offer for, or against warren buffet or his family. however, i will say this. "when somebody tells you that money is not important, it only means one thing. they have never run out of it."
Either way U look at it, they all sleep good at night. The pain of deprivation is not there.
If everyone thinks like Warren Buffet like "waiting for a really slow fat ball to float by for you to swing with your bat without missing", what do you think will become of our economy? Better or worse? Something to think about, eh?
THE BUFFET CHILDREN WILL GET PLENTY FOR SURE. 90,000 IN BIRK BACK IN 1979 IS WORTH MILLIONS NOW THEY ARE JUST FINE. PLUS BUFFET IS WORTH MORE THAN 36 BILLION...THE BALANCE SURELY WILL GO TO THE KIDS (AS IT SHOULD)! THEY MAKE IT SOULD LIKE THE KIDS NEVER DID OR WILL GET ANYTHING...HE HAS TO PRETEND THIS WILL BE THE CASE TO MAKE HIM LOOK MORE "GIVING" TO OTHERS. WHATEVER I SAY.MONEY DOES AFFORD YOU FREEDOM AND WITH FREEDOM COMES HAPPINESS IT IS JUST PUTTING IT IN DIFFERENT WORDS. MONEY CAN BUY HAPPINESS SORRY TO SAY. I WISH I HAD SOME I WOULD BE A LOT HAPPIER!
Warren Buffet has been very wise to teach his children responsibility and reliability. For those children just waiting for their inheritance, what incentive do they have to do anything on their own? Warren's children have learned to be self-sufficient, good, honest people. Those are valuable lessons for a child to learn at an early age. Helicopter parenting takes away all those learning experiences from a child if the parent is always making the decisions and not allowing the child to succeed or fail on their own. How can they learn anything? Teach them what Warren Buffet has taught his children and yours will be alright in life.
Warren Buffet sounds like a sick cold hearted individual who wants all the fame and glory to himself. It's all about himself and his billions, lol. He is probably mentally ill and super greedy. Upon his death he is giving his billions to Bill Gates and his charity because he does not believe in inheritance? Meaning, go out and get your own money!, lol. What a totally sick and disgusting human being! He has made a fortune by shorting and cheating small investors out of billions through insider trading and stock manipulation and yet people admire this sicko, lol. Go figure.....
You do not know the first thing about Warren Buffet and his accomplishments and his charitable giving. He has given his children the tools they need to have happy and successful lives. Can you say the same?
What Warren Buffet says and what he does may very well be 2 different things. He has not died yet so it is not known what his family will recieve of his wealth. As for being his son, just that opens doors to billions in lucrative business deals.
My motto is " If you think money won't buy happiness, you don't know where to shop". And most importantly " LOVEDOESN'T PAY THE BILLS". If my father was a billionare and he told me that I was to receive nothing from his estatethen there is something wrong with his thinking. Unless I was already a millionare. Most parents of well off means want their children to do well and have their legacy wheather it be a business or money etc. How do you think all of the bluebloods of America made it this far. FAMILY MONEY past down thru the gererations. That is the way it should be. Of course as we all well know good health is the richest a person can have, without it money does not matter.
Tax cuts for the rich: A. grows budget deficits B. grows political contributions for the GOP C. DOES NOT grow jobs and never has.
A. grows budget deficits, and so does tax increases because the Govt spends even more. Higher deficits puts pressure on Govt to cut wastful spending and out of control growth.B. grows political contributions for the GOP. 1 of the reasons to get involved with the TEA party and change direction of the country away from a totaly socialist state.C. DOES NOT grow jobs and never has. The rich create more jobs than anyone, the Govt does not. If the rich have more money and see opportunity jobs are definitely created.
