"I get paid enormously, and it's no great credit to me, I was just lucky at birth. It's nice to give me a fair amount of the benefits from that but I shouldn't delude myself into thinking that I'm some superior individual because of that.I don't think society ought to count entirely on the goodwill of the rich to decide on the proportions that go back. So I believe in a very progressive tax on income.As my friend Bill Gates says, if I've been born in some different place or some different time I'd have been some animal's lunch. I'd have been running real fast, and the animal would have been chasing me and I'd say "I allocate capital" and the animal would say "well, those are the kind that taste the best". I've been in the right place at the right time, and I'm lucky, I think a fair amount of that luck should be shared with others."-Warren Buffett
