You know who you are!

I have a friend who toils for Warren Buffett. Ten years ago he accepted a sales position for Geico Insurance for $10/hour. Today he makes $15. In the mean time Warren Buffett kept amassing great sums totaling today up to $52 Billion. My friend is happy to toil away for his pittance. He has no ambition beyond a fridge full of beer and a pack full of Marlboros (I did just learn that he has an iPhone!). He is a political conservative. He has no white guilt. He listens to Rush Limbaugh et. Al and believes them. He thinks that poor people are lazy not realizing how hard he has worked to become one of them. Meanwhile Warren Buffett publicly, and uncharacteristically gave away most of his fortune to the Gates foundation. Buffett Reaizes his responsibility in this trickle up economy. The top 1% of rich people in this world can use their spare change to end disease, hunger and poverty in this world. If the rest of the 99% of us did so, it wouldn’t even scratch the surface.
