Warren Buffett offers Donald Trump some advice while celebrating
Berkshire Hathaway's success
....
....
Buffett cited the fact that Berkshire paid zero income tax in the
decade before he took over in 1965 as a sure sign the investment was a
mistake, but over time the amount Berkshire pays to the IRS has grown
along with the conglomerate to hit $26.8 billion last year -- "far
more in corporate income tax than the U.S. government had ever
received from any company -- even the American tech titans that
commanded market values in the trillions."

Buffett has hardly mentioned politics and current events in his recent
letter -- preferring to stay away from anything controversial that
might hurt Berkshire's companies -- but Saturday he urged the
government to be responsible with the money he sends it.

"Thank you, Uncle Sam. Someday your nieces and nephews at Berkshire
hope to send you even larger payments than we did in 2024. Spend it
wisely. Take care of the many who, for no fault of their own, get the
short straws in life. They deserve better. And never forget that we
need you to maintain a stable currency and that result requires both
wisdom and vigilance on your part," Buffett wrote, reinforcing some of
the Democratic ideals he has long supported.
