Don't know about the others, but Warren Buffet is flat out lying- he had this whole shtick about playing less tax than his secretary- it's a complete lie. Warren's perception in the media is that of a value investor, however 99% of his income comes from Berkshire Hathaway. Buffet has the perception of being a regular old man- he is ruthless but has the face of an angel. One of the reason why people get into the super super elite is because they are so good at getting ideas in people's head to begin with, plus they have media influence to boot. Buffet is just another corporatist in reality. If you think everything is as it appears to be with Oligarchs, you are sadly mistaken.

Or perhaps we could regulate and tax outsourcing to discourage it more?
So then, China doesn't want to business with America, Americans don't want to do business with Americans and now you really have destroyed production because the components used in building things are now 7x more expensive.
Savior of the poor!
