He seems driven by an access of an excess of guilt. Surely it's not all because he's Hungarian.

Shoulda made his own money? I dunno. I thought he made most of his own fortune at least.

The wealthy, particularly the self-made, like to keep the economic game to rules they understand and have succeeded at. Nothing astonishing there. Life's winners tend to vote conservative -- it's what happens with success in business. And success in business isn't of itself limited to a certain population.

The American Jewish vote used to run as heavily Republican as it runs Democratic now. However they started out, American Jews, on getting rich in business, went Republican, the party of business, in a big way. The changeover was during FDR's Administration, when activist, then welfarist, government became, for some time, fashionable.

And yet another for the bulging "attacks on tw" file: two T's in Warren Buffett, dumb ass. Your grasp of written English is still a match for your grasp of issues. You cannot persuade unless you master a better grade of English -- or of copyediting. Bad writing is the spawn of bad thinking. Note that I invariably write well.
