Warren Buffett, the world's second wealthiest person, has agreed to serve as an economic adviser to John Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate. Buffett has long been a critic of the tax policies of the Bush administration, which he believes favour the wealthy and big corporations over the middle class.
"I am available if anyone wants to ask my view of anything," Buffett said of his involvement with Kerry at a news conference in Omaha, Nebraska, a day after the annual meeting of his Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Buffett said Kerry had asked him three weeks ago if he would be part of an economic advisory council that includes Robert Rubin, who was treasury secretary in the Clinton administration. Buffett said he had accepted.
