Ricky West has some thoughts comparing Warren Buffett’s anti-tax-cut social justice rhetoric to the reality of Berkshire Hathaway’s treatment of its employees. Of course, Buffett has a duties to the other Berkshire Hathaway shareholders to maximize their profits rather than pay unnecessarily high salaries; he has to let the other shareholders decide for themselves how much money they want to devote to giving their fellow man a better deal than the market demands.
But then, shouldn’t that also be true of George W. Bush?
