Why are you guys still acting like I'm being derogatory towards Buffet?

He's an increadable business man.
When attacked by a mob of clowns, always go for the juggler.

He can donate his own money - as he has stated in a matching donation scenario, so he already IS paying more.

Only by matching a challenge to a group of people to do something that at least most of them don't believe in.  Big whoop.

I did locate that one Senator put up about $49K

Edit: fix typo

I wasn't acting like you were being derogatory - I didn't think you were at all.


My 'enabler' comment was to try to point out that he has enabled many companies to create jobs, etc.  He does what he does best and lets management do what they do best and it works beautifully.  Well, maybe except Coca-Cola...they have been pretty sluggish in recent years.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Just one so far.  And so, from the commitment I made a few weeks ago, that means I owe $1.  Will do what Buffet is doing and wait until the end of the year.

I see Buffet's challenge to be a lot like if I challenged you to raise money for Murdoch or any other RWRE group or candidate.  I don't have enough money to not put a limit on it just incase you choose to try to empty my wallet but you get the idea.

He is just gonna match whatever they put in.

I said I would match at my relative scale - $1 per each member of Congress, the President and Vice-President, and the Supreme Court.  So I could conceivably be out several hundred dollars.  I think I'm safe - shouldn't cost more than a couple dozen dollars...if that much.


I could see donating to Ron Paul.  For some of the things he believes in...but then taking it back for others.
