Subject: Re: Jason Zweig on BRK's Cash
Completely agree. One-time huge dividend would be very hard on us long-time shareholders. Regular normal sized but rising could be worked around easier.

No! Even a normal sized rising dividend would eviscerate people like Gottesman. Let's say a small-ish 1.5% dividend. In a case like Gottesman, over 60 years, the taxes at an average 33% rate would consume over 30% of the total value of those shares. That means that their chosen charity would have received 30% less!!! No thank you. I'd much prefer all earnings reinvested internally. I also trust people like WEB to allocate capital more than I trust people like me to do so.
