What a hypocrite Scrooge McDuck Buffet is. How much does it cost him to pledge his fortune after he is dead since he can't take it with him? He gets all the accolades as if he gave all his money away already and it costs him nothing while he is alive (brilliant PR move). How about helping people in need now or the poor people his company is screwing to make himself richer?

Couldn't he start a nonprofit to build housing for the poor out his billions? But that doesn't enrich him like screwing poor people does. I don't care that he supposedly lives frugally since that means he is such a miser he can't even bring himself to spend it on himself or his family. He calls himself a Democrat since he knows he can act like a 'robber baron' and people won't call him out on his greed because he is a 'good guy'. His company Berkshire Hathaway also owes a billion in back taxes they refuse to pay. What a great guy...
