But while wealth inequality is a problem, Buffett does not support disrupting the country's market economy, which he likens to "the goose that lays the golden eggs." "[T]he most important single thing is to have more 'golden eggs' to distribute around," Buffett said. "So I don't wanna do anything to the goose that lays the golden eggs. And we've had the goose that lays more and more golden eggs over the years, unbelievable in this country." "So we've got something that works in terms of the market system in terms of turning out lots of goods and services people want," Buffett said. However, Buffett says the U.S. should use the fruits of its economy to provide for those who are not able to take care of themselves, in the same way that a family would take care of one of its own.
