Warren Buffett has argued for rich people paying higher taxes for years, so I'm not sure he is the best example for this meme.

He operates like any other big capitalist though, even if he paid higher taxes he'd still benefit from the exploitation of workers and rent extraction, etc. This is a brilliant PR move by him, not a show of not being aligned with his class. Hell, he said he'd donate his wealth to charity on his death, but you know which charity he picked?

You say it's a great PR move from him, but last I checked he has "fuck you" money so I'm not sure I buy that. If he doesn't mean it there would be no real benefit for him to say it. I don't think he cares that I just said he's less bad than those others pictured.

you know which charity he picked?

No idea.

You bringing it up like a positive points to it being excellent PR. If he seriously didn't like benefiting from acting like a capitalist he'd just... stop.

He picked the Gates Foundation. Bill Gates is in the files and was a friend of Epstein.

Me? I helped fund a military for them to use so that I could watch Hollywood movies in peace!
