This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

He tends not to get political with his investment strategy. That is probably part of the reason he is the most successful investor on the planet.

If you mix politics and money you tend to end up with a lot of politics and not much money.

I assume you aren’t talking about Buffet who has donated over $46B to charity since 2000 and is leaving 99% of what he has left to charity when he dies. Virtually every penny he makes is earmarked for charity and he has lived in the same modest home since 1958. Nor is he a libertarian as he is a proponent of progressive taxation.
