The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“How do you think Buffett feels about taxing unrealized cap gains and a net worth tax?”

I’d imagine he’d feel it would be excessive, difficult to calculate and it would change the established rules and lessen the appeal of investing and compounding. Warren is a card carrying American capitalist and is loyal to Berkshire and his owner partners. He has paid dozens and dozens of billions in taxes over the decades on behalf of Berkshire with a respectful pro-America attitude. Successful corporations like Berkshire have earned, allocated and navigated the years well and behaved ethically and by the rules. I feel Berkshire and a large number of Billionaires in general do pay their “fair share” of taxes.
