Dear Mr. Buffett - please see a psychiatrist

I'll do my best not to be glib about this, Mr. Buffett. I've been in the 'people business' all my life. I have always considered your accomplishments to be extraordinary with respect to wealth building.

Now, however, I believe that you are suffering from a form of dementia that seems to attack older, rich folks. It starts with others telling you that you haven't done enough 'to repay society' for making you so very wealthy. Feeling stressed about those comments, you start asking people for some assurances that you are, indeed, 'repaying society' for your good fortune.

In most cases, both the people who make the initial comments and the people with which you later consult, have strong motives for questioning your "fairness". From the outside looking in, you appear to have fallen under their spell. Liberal/Progressives (LPs) make a career out of making others feel guilty about having accumulated wealth. This is a silly notion because most of these morons are themselves wealthy, and give little or nothing back to society, unless you count their constant haranguing others about their wealth.

If you are experiencing early signs of dementia, Mr. Buffett, seek counsel from a qualified, conservative psychiatrist. He or she would be decidedly neutral about your financial state, and much more interested in assessing and treating your mental condition. It's quite reasonable to have the beginnings of dementia, yet function above average in areas of great expertise. Schizophrenics and savants do that all the time.

Some bvad people have gotten to you, Mr. Buffett. They recognized your "older, rich person's guilt" and are taking advantage of that perceived weakness. I've read about you and do not see any correlation of your current actions versus your past actions or comments about wealth and wealth building.

Finally, I ask you to consider, why such a turn against the precepts under which you accumulated wealth? You never appeared to take advantage of people in the past. You, like any great capitalist, took advantage of situations. That's a cornerstone of capitalism. To feel guilty now would be akin to feeling guilty about killing horses after you set the barn on fire. It's sijmply not logical. And your current actions/state of mind really scares the rest of us.

Get diagnosed, sir, and start receiving the proper medication to control this illness. There are some of us out here that still follow the original Warren Buffett. This new iteration is, well, irritating.

PS: If you must continue on this Marxsist path, please write me and I will give you instructions on where to send a good chunk of your 'guilt money' ... to me.

God Bless America!  God Save America!   God save Warren Buffett!
