Do you know much about Warren Buffett? He is one of the three richest men in the world. He has created an immense amount of value for himself, but also for other people, due to his value based investment strategies. He's not a Carl Icahn corporate raider -- he's a businessman who looks for value and ways to increase value. That's a tremendously valuable individual to society. As a fellow entrepreneur, I have read and found inspiration in his philosophies and accomplishments. And that was before he went and promised 85% of his net worth to charities (Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, I believe) upon his death. Near as I can tell, that's over $30 billion dollars of wealth that he has created that he is now giving away. I agree that you cannot expect unbiased information from anybody these days. But it's not fair to single out Mr. Buffett, as he certainly isn't the type of rich man you want to paint with that brush.
