George Soros - he can has cheeseburger

Quote from ProfLogic:

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.

This ends my exchange with you. You have lost my respect.
 
Quote from Gabfly1:

I have read three of his books as well as two biographies and the Mallaby book I noted earlier. This ends my exchange with you.

Promise!? I love it when liberals tuck tail and run.
 
Quote from phenomena:

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...
More...

I have read his books. He is critical of how keynesian economics has been applied, not the theory itself.
 
Quote from phenomena:

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...

Yes, I already re-stated that his fund was in curacao. His income is in a trust, he pays little to no taxes.

He goes into detail on his keynesian opinions in the Rose interview and you are correct.

Interestingly, that's how I feel about Keynesian economics, and have often said the same. The theory can only work if it is applied in full, and not just the half-Keynesian that self-serving politicians seem to favor. It is a very good but woefully abused and misapplied theory.
 
Quote from phenomena:

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.

You really need to start reading what I write. I already stated I didn't care if he was being a hypocrite on taxes, my problem with him is how he influences our tax policy while he pays little to no taxes himself. And no, it's not easy to prosecute tax cheats. Our government has had little to no success in doing that over the years. Do some research on the UBS tax scandal. It took a inside whistleblower to get indictments on them.

This is the opinion of many on the left and I'm not going to prosecute Soros for his opinions on Keynesian economics good or bad or how he thinks it should be applied. But I am critical of the influence he has over our tax policy.
