7. Warren Buffetttheir wisdom, humility, decency, business success and integrity make his polar opposites. No The King of Debt or Bankruptcy Masterhe.
Did you know that Buffett’s father was a super conservative Nebraska legislator?
“Then why are you a Democrat?” I asked once.
“Well, if you read John Rawls and consider his ‘veil of ignorance’, how could you be anything else?” is the gist of his reply. (Needless to say, I haven’t read John Rawls.)
John Rawls’s Veil of Ignorance: You are in your womb, somehow capable of designing the world you are about to be born. The only things are: you are not born male or female; black or white; straight, gay or trans; mentally gifted or challenging, great or Pratt justice; have a killer immune system or impaired immune system; give a wealthy parent or a drug addicted mom. . . How will you order social?
noble? kleptocracy? Communism? dictatorship? Unregulated Darwin, monopoly capitalism? Right to vote only for white people?
if You will need universal health care and life minimum wage. . . The marginal tax rate paid by the rich is higher than Their secretary . . . Capitalism has many opportunities to get rich, but is regulated to ensure consumer protection, investor protection, safe food, water, drugs and workplaces, clean air and strong competition. . . Proper social safety nets, wise gun safety regulations and collective action to prevent the ‘tragedy of the commons’ (e.g. Climate change). . . Checks and balances that need compromise. . . Respect the rule of law and long-standing civilized norms. . . If you want these things, Then welcome to the Democratic Party.
I think magazine Republicans want at least most of these things, but are cleverly misled. That’s the inciteer Do: Proficient misleading. look Hugo Chavez. How did his agitator emerge for the once relatively prosperous democratic Venezuelans? Or, for a lifetime, how did the Italian and German inciteers emerge?
Why are we suddenly on the side of Russia and North Koreans? Did Maga-ns realize that this was what they voted for? Confusion rather than ability? higher Inflation and interest rates? Trump’s cede and lowering the balance of 401k? Close medical research in experience, which may one day save a child’s life?
I know a lot of good people who voted for Trump.
This is not what they voted for.
Many Republican senators feel the same way, but are afraid of their personal safety.
Anne Applebaum: We have become bad guys. “Trump and Vance broke Europe’s fantasy about the United States.”
If Reagan is a cowboy who is talking to white people, then Trump and Vance are the mafia. The chorus of Republican political leaders who defended them seemed to make Europeans sinister and surprising, too.
