Great Warren Buffett quote you can use against Republicans and other |

corporatist.
“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 Buffett NYT 11-26-2006.
Tie McCain to the rich and their agenda. Tie him to bush and the neo cons. Tie him to the costly and bloody war without end.
Here's a letter I started using his quote as the launching pad. It is still in the process of re writing.
“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 Buffett NYT 11-26-2006.
It is time we start fighting back. The best way to do that is at the ballot box. This November we have a clear choice between someone who will continue the policies of the Bush/Cheney years, or someone who will reinstate some transparency and fairness into our government.
Should we vote for endless war or a path out of the bloody mess we are in now. Should we accept a society built on the authoritarian Neo Conservative ideology, or return to one based on Jeffersonian Democracy? Should we aspire to be nothing more than docile consumers, or should we aspire to be engaged citizens in a free society?
Remember, your duty does not end at the ballot box. Pay attention, educate yourself by turning off the TV and picking up a book or newspaper. Get involved, speak up for our Constitution and your fellow Americans.

1. He also said the estate tax is the greatest thing |
|
that keeps America a meritocracy. The passing of fortunes between generations destroys meritocracy.
Warren is a real good guy when it comes to economics. Belives in progressive taxes, believes in hard work and being rewarded for it, treats his employees well. He's as solid a multi-billionaire capitalist as I have seen.
