Warren Buffet adds muscle to Schwarzenegger's campaign

[DanS]

A lot of conservatives probably don't like the fact that he was against repealing of the inheritance tax, doesn't think that high marginal tax rates are too much to worry about, and that he's all for abortion on demand.

I agree with his inheritance tax stance, but my blood starts to boil when reading about his Zero Population Growth views.

IThis is probbaly for another thread but are all republicans anti abortion, and whats Arnies stance.

Arnie's moderately pro-choice. IIRC, he's socially liberal (for a Republican) but economically conservative. I think itll be pretty much as it is now but with lower taxes, much lower spending and a new style economic policy, if Arnie gets into power. Has Arnie actually released his economic plans in full yet, and how he'll reduce the deficit?

I agree with MtG. There are very high costs to doing business in California. Unless these are addressed in some fundamental way, a new governor can only rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.

I do not know whether Buffet - or George Schultz, for that matter, can help without the will to take on significant vested interests such as the unions and the trial lawyers.

No and Yes.

Buffet and Schwarz. can take on the unions etc because they, unlike career politicians, have nothing to lose by taking on the establishment - their careers, their livelihood doesn't depend upon them getting elected/appointed in increasingly higher-status positions for the next 30 years. People like that can be extremely vexing to the establishment.
