Quote from achilles28:
Socialism is the candy Authoritarians dangle to usurp civil Rights.
George Soros is an Authortarian. The only way he and his ilk may convince people to accept a Big Brother-style Government, is to make us want it. What's in it for us? A big house. Food on the table. Free education. A well-padded bank account. Sounds great. Why not vote for it? What has the average idiot got to lose?
See, if George Soros really cared about the economic wellbeing of his fellow man, he would emulate Milton Freidman - promote free markets, private property rights and the Rule of Law. Because that's what creates wealth. Socialism destroys wealth because it removes the incentives to succeed (and not fail). Typically, it's incredibly corrupt and fraught with regulation that serve to protect established monopolies, thereby discouraging entrepreneurship and small business which are the dominate engines of growth and jobs. Soros knows that. He takes us all for idiots and wants to impose his own god-complex through trickery and deceit. He's a POS. But he'll never succeed.
