How to view kings and dictators? I believe Bob Dylan likely borrowed this insight for his "Sweetheart Like You":

Steal a little and they throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king

Note: In no way am I implying that WEB stole to create his fortune. But then Warren is neither a king nor dictator. It's amazingly kind that he is returning what he made back to society. Considering how deeply wired he is to keeping score with money, it can't be easy for him to have done this ahead of his preferred schedule. But he understands the impact of doing it the way he has chosen to do it.

I wouldn't mind borrowing a billion with the promise of returning the remainder back to society when I'm done here.
