I seem to remember reading that is the same percentage President Obama is in for charitable donations. He also is a champion of spending tax dollars to hurt business, and give away as much as possible from those who work, to those who don't! The word hypocritical comes to mind!

Corporations create jobs for the purpose of making profits, not for any humanitarian purpose. They create jobs if that helps the bottom line and they destroy jobs if that helps the bottom line. Wall Street will punish any corporation who does otherwise. Of course, we can all admire Buffett's humble way of life and donations to charity. All billionaires should follow his example.
