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"

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.
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.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...

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.

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.
