Buffett owns 15.6% of Berkshire's stock.In his Feb. 25 annual letter to shareholders, Buffett defended buybacks, calling someone who views all repurchases as harmful \"an economic illiterate or a silver-tongued demagogue.\"The comment appeared to criticize the White House and some Democrats who would prefer that companies use available cash to reinvest in their businesses.Buybacks are subject to a 1% excise tax, which President Joe Biden has proposed quadrupling.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9943116727,"gmtCreate":1679273215769,"gmtModify":1679273219114,"author":{"id":"4112855949003692","authorId":"4112855949003692","name":"kong1509","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5c7779ca51cd488037d326183dfd5994","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4112855949003692","authorIdStr":"4112855949003692"},"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9943116727","repostId":2320833540,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9943116547,"gmtCreate":1679273172189,"gmtModify":1679273176154,"author":{"id":"4096841192952540","authorId":"4096841192952540","name":"suthanb4u","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9f20cddb20a5bf9628a34649fd09fd65","vip":1,"crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"4096841192952540","authorIdStr":"4096841192952540"},"htmlText":"Good job....!?!
