[quote=pri_dk]Yup. Buffett, a private individual, chooses to invest his money in a private enterprise.
A textbook example of capitalism.
Unless the investor has a conversation with that pseudo-President of ours – the one with the sorta muslim sounding name. In which case it’s gotta be some leftist plot.
[Bill O’Reilly] There is no question that Buffett is a brilliant businessman. And this is what makes the situation so confusing.
Yes, Bill, it can get confusing when you are trying to argue that one of America’s most successful and ethical capitalists is some sort of closet socialist.[/quote]
Pri: Uh, the full, and correct, term is actual CRONY Capitalism. Buffett has enjoyed a very select place at the table, and this is just the latest example.
You keep trying to obscure the facts with the familiar memes and tropes, using terms like “socialism” and “funny sounding name”, thus painting anyone who attempts a reasoned rejoinder with the brush of Racist Reactionary.
Obama and Buffett “visit” about “jobs” whilst Obama is on vacation in the Vineyard, and within 48 hours, Buffett has assumed a sizeable stake in BofA, a bank that is inarguably in trouble. Moreover, if BofA DID fail, it could trigger an even larger problem, both domestically and internationally. Yeah, the fix was definitely NOT in. Nothing to see here, folks, move along and pay NO ATTENTION to the man behind the curtain.
