Say it ain't so, Warren.
Billionaire Warren Buffett, the 'Oracle from Omaha' is the CEO, president, and largest shareholder of the Berkshire Hathaway holding company. He is also frequently regarded as one of the too few bright spots in what might be called progressive capitalism: a champion of higher tax rates for billionaires than for their secretaries, a major donor to Barack Obama's campaigns, and an opponent of the inter-generational transfer of great wealth who has pledged to leave his fortune to charity, including an 83% stake to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Yet, according to a new report from the Center for Public Integrity and the Seattle Times, Buffett is also one of America's leading predatory home lenders, via his Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary, Clayton Homes - the country's largest mobile home builder.
