Warren Buffett is sitting on over $325 billion cash as Berkshire Hathaway keeps selling Apple stock.
Wow, imagine all the good the rich could do if they wanted to. The whole world could be a much better place for sure.
Instead the rich keep hoarding their wealth, enslaving most of us with their imposed debt, and allowing billions of people to suffer in poverty.
