Warren Buffett, Apple's Jobs Join Kerry !!!
Buffett, 73, who heads the Berkshire Hathaway Inc. investment company, has criticized Bush's tax cuts as ``welfare'' for the rich. Kerry wants to roll back some of Bush's tax cuts. Kerry also proposes setting up a Manufacturing Business Investment Corporation to provide money for manufacturing companies investing in new technologies, similar to a government program that helped Apple get started.

1. Smart Move by President Kerry..
Buffet should replace Greenspan when Kerry takes office.

President Kerry has the wisdom to surround himself with those whose concerns are of-by-and for the American people.
Not of-by-and for corporate donors, as in george's case.

President Kerry's smarts are showing. I'll trust him to lead our nation out of george's hole.

george shoud go home.
george can take his ENRON governing policies with him.

3. This makes sense
Good to see some of these mega-zillionaire types getting behind Kerry. bush*s corporate welfare is good for the megacorp tycoons in the short term, but it's not forward-looking. Some of these guys would like to see their hard work pay off in the form of good things for the country for generations to come. Companies like Enron are simply bound to flame out. Guys like Buffett and Jobs don't want their legacy to be the same as Ken Lay's.
