81 years old .........under Obamacare they would tell him to take two pain pills and inflate his tires.......

Stage 1 prostate cancer ..I wish him well and afull recovery ..at least until he pays that Billion dollars he owes in back taxes..

The case for the Buffett tax keeps eroding. When President Obama announced the idea, he said it would help "stabilize our debt and deficits over the next decade." Then came the inconvenient revelation that the new 30% millionaire's tax would raise only $46.7 billion over 10 years. ...

Now we learn that the Buffett tax the Senate is expected to vote on early next week will make the deficit worse. That's because both Mr. Obama and Senate Democrats have made it clear that their new "fairness" tax is to offset the revenue loss from another provision related to the Alternative Minimum Tax. That measure would exempt more than 20 million middle class Americans with incomes as low as $80,000 a year from getting nailed by the AMT....

The Joint Tax Committee—the official scoring referee on tax bills—calculates that the combination of AMT repeal for the middle class and the Buffett tax would add $793.3 billion to the debt over the next decade.

Although Buffet benefits from bank bailouts, he broke no law.  If there is blame, government is most deserving..  But if not for bailouts, there would be severe consequences for the economy.

Clearly, Buffet is a capitalist by broad dictionary definitions because he is a wealthy person and owner of capital especially business enterprises.  Politically, his support for higher taxes makes him appear anti-capitalist.
