George Soros - he can has cheeseburger

Quote from phenomena:

Soros is absolutely not a keynesian. You clearly haven't read any of his books. He rips keynes apart.... Might I suggest "the alchemy of finance"

I assume you were joking.

"Soros Front Group Launching Keynesian Propaganda Research

The Institute for New Economic Thinking, which was launched with funding of $50 million by George Soros, has announced its first series of research grants. Among the recipients:

Steven Fazzari of Washington University was awarded a grant by Institute for New Economic Thinking for a project to elaborate an original model of Keynesian demand-led growth and to better communicate Keynesian macroeconomic insights to a broad and diverse audience."
 
His HF is in curacao, not bermuda. His fund is there, his management company is in NYC. He is pays taxes.

Don't get me wrong here. I disagree with soros on many issues, and disapprove of most of his political endeavors. However, a lot of what's being said here is total horse shit.

Soros is "nazi- like" in no way, and is not keynesian whatsoever...

Quote from Maverick74:

If that statement is true, then why does he, as an American citizen have his hedge fund based in Bermuda where he pays little to no taxes? I mean look, he has all these great ideas for our government that cost the taxpayers billions of dollars but does he pay for any of this? No. Why not? If his ideas are so wonderful he should be more then happy to help contribute no? I'm confused Gabby. Why don't you help me understand.
 
Quote from phenomena:

On the contrary, Soros talks far more about his faults and short comings than how "great" he is. Further, he is far from a nazi. He's far closer to a soviet than a nazi. I wonder how much of his writing you've actually read... He pushes for some classical liberal causes, but also some very marxist ones. Nazi is about the furthest you could get from describing Soros...
Actually, he is as opposed to communism as he is to nazism, as both are oppressive regimes and contradictory to his belief in an open society.

If people would actually take the time to investigate the nature and extent of his philanthropy, they might be a bit more circumspect about their criticism towards him.
 
Go read his books. Go read the alchemy of finance how he rips keynesians apart, and talks about how even keynes himself withdrew his theory...

Quote from ProfLogic:

...George will look you in the eye and tell you he isn't a monster . . . Dahmer did the same thing.
Sorry, but by your own hand you have descended to the level of a cartoon.
 
I'm not talking about what vocabulary he selects, I'm talking about the initiatives and policies he endorses. I also didn't say he was a communist. I said he was closer to a communist than a nazi, and he is...

He can best be described as an "international socialist". He advocates mixed economies. "Equality" initiatives, etc. Promoting trade with nations who need money (even if they have more expensive, and lower quality output)

He has had some brilliant suggestions, but also some very frightening ones...

Yes, please take the time to investigate.
And you have the audacity to call someone a drone.
You haven't even read his own books.
 
Soros isn't IN those jurisdictions. He's IN nyc. They could prosecute him easily. The fact is he hasn't done anything wrong. Does he use LOOPHOLES to legally avoid paying taxes? Of course. But he doesn't evade taxes. It's absurd to think that he wouldn't cover his ass, or that he would freely live and travel within the USA and the authorities wouldn't make any effort to prosecute him if he were doing something illegal.

Quote from Maverick74:

Because the IRS has had very little success in prosecuting individuals in those jurisdictions. In fact, in general the IRS has had a hard time going after the rich. They rather go after the soccer mom who owes $700 in back taxes.
