Warren Buffett reaps $40 billion from giant Apple stake since March bottom
I'm all for capitalism and by no means an advocate for socialism ... but this headline makes me want to puke:

Warren Buffett reaps $40 billion from giant Apple stake since March bottom

[link to www.cnbc.com (secure)]

With so many suffering financially at the moment due to COVID-19 ... the fact that one man can reap $40 billion in a rigged financial market is crime against humanity.

The rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer is an absolute fact. The system is rigged for the rich to keep their wealth increasing.

I had to scrape every dollar yesterday to pay my $1,473 tax due to the IRS. Just not right...

Poor people are poor because they make poor decisions...If you want to be a rich person, you have to behave like one and stop throwing your money away and start investing it...

He pays less taxes than his secretary, and I understand that because capital gains is not taxed like w-2'ers are taxed...

Yeah but he started investing before the entire system was rigged.

Now it’s only the very rich who can work the rigged system to their advantage like Buffett has done these past few months ... no ordinary person could do this ... it’s sickening and I liken it to crimes against humanity.

My investments are meager because my income is meager ... and COVID-19 has made things considerably worse ... except for folks like Buffett.

People who are retired and depend on dividends and such would be greatly harmed if they taxed investments as they do income on your W-2

why don't you say that this "donating" money is just another way of tax relief, evasion?

the more he gives, the more returns he'll get on taxes

when you and the rest of the elites will give away 99% of their wealth like Carnegie did 100 years ago, i'll take you seriously, until then GTFO
