Should Warren Buffett match Rand Paul's $500K?

[K466]

I just wrote an article asking if Warren Buffet's silly political stunt is now costing him half a million dollars. Rand Paul's awesome return of $500K should count, right?

Warren Buffett's Political Stunt: Did Rand Paul take him up on it?

Should Rand Paul bring this up, or would it be a waste of time?

When I saw that Rand had returned 500K, the first thing I thought was, "match that Warren, or are you just a blow hard old fart trying to salvage your quickly whithering reputation before you take the dirt nap?"

If he wants to...

Warren already looks bad for advocating higher taxes while he shorted the government himself. It takes a lot of integrity to do that...

Warren buffet should really mind his own f'n business, but perhaps a 500K gift from him to the US Treasury might make him look like less of a hypocrite: http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/gift/gift.htm Still, he might as well welch on that too..

Good article -- I submitted the Rand article and the Buffett article to a place, suggesting an article.
Just sent them your article to show someone beat them to it.
May stir some interest.

He should donate 500k to revpac. He would do very well under a paul presidency. We all would
