Huh.



The second quote is not from the posted letter. It was a quote attributed to Buffett by a New York Times column in 2006.

I'm aware of that. That does not make the second quote any less relevant.


Buffett has long been a critic of things over favouring the rich. He argued he should pay more tax https://www.theguardian.com/business/2007/oct/31/usnews and almost got a law passed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffett_Rule
