I knew all that. Krud, you mean he's still alive? I wuz hoping that...oh never mind.
Defined by the liberal TV networks, Mr. Sorros is `rich,' `liberal' , and a donator of billions to charity,
and, also to the liberal political party-
(therefore: not guilty nor even capable of mean-spirited physical abuse) ???

I like TSPTalk and I think most people here are well-intentioned but if I followed their advice, I'd be hunkered down in my basement with a thousand cans of tuna fish.
Yet another example of making lots of money does not qualify you for Sage. What worries me is the almost worshipping attitude newscasters take on when talking to the very rich - and that goes for both ends of the media spectrum.

"Police investigated the August 2010 incident and concluded that no assault occurred."
Seems to me, that if the police decided there was no assault, it is a pretty fair reach to, a year later, bring it up in the press.
Why would that be?
-don't know, Jim. Take that up with the folks at NBC - (as the first paragraph of the link quotes).
Maybe her lawsuit is getting out of hand? Maybe there is something else coming down the pike?
They obviously felt a need to shore up the guy -
-one of their many talents, shore up with piers of sand and landfill, or ravage the flesh off the bones they have
yet to totally chew up....
That does bring up a question, Jim, that has lurked in my mind for several years: how do the media determine within their first hearing of an incident who or what & why?

NBC's Today show on Friday managed to avoid any ideological labels for a story on violence charges against the very liberal George Soros. Instead, reporter Mike Taibbi simply described him as "rich." In contrast, Good Morning America identified Soros as "liberal."
Well, if they feel they should be paying more in taxes, have them write a check and send it to:
Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service Center
Cincinnati, OH 45999-0007
Make sure they mark it with a Memo to place the funds in the general fund.
I am sure he believes the USG knows how to spend his money better than he does.
As soon as Buffett or Soros start sending their "excess" money to the USG, I will start believing their rhetoric. I do not believe they speak for all "rich" people (POTUS defines this as income >$250k).
The reality is that we need to all be paying the same percent of income taxes and get rid of all the loop-holes, etc. That will make it fair, period.

Some CNBC hosts had candid comments about Buffett's piece on taxing the rich. They talked of the ease to donate to the US Treasury. And of course as mentioned above that increased rates won't affect them because of their accountants and lawyers. We're in the process of pulling down the living standard of the "upper middleclass" in order to further raise the living standard of the "lower middleclass" and don't forget the gimmes. The rich will not be affected. Unless the two earner families at $250k taxable income are rich. I know a couple GS14s that are looking at themselves differently now.
I don't see this mentioned above...the new Der Spiegel interview with Soros. http://www.businessinsider.com/georg...he-euro-2011-8
? ? ?
So, what you are saying is that a quote is only qualified to be quoted if it is published by liberal-approved sources?
You don't seem to be contending it is a miss-quote....
I mention this, because I have not noticed any reticence by a scattered 3 or 4 on this board to post anything they can interpret as a slam on anyone who does not follow their ideology.
Is this a good source?

Not that it makes the entire point, but not everyone is buying the ONLY tax the rich mantra.
I'll get to this, promise, I just don't have time tonight. The why IS important, as much as the fact that he ONLY speaks for himself. "Show me the Money!"

No financial return on his investment? Are you kidding me? He's made a great deal of money through Petrobras, which received funds from the U.S. government. I think it's interesting that Soros just happened to buy more Petrobras stock right before Obama made a speach about the funding being made available to Petrobras. Soros was and is given inside information from the administration, which he uses to make himself, and the Democrat party money. Martha Stewart went to jail for insider trading, but Soros gets a pass. Must be nice to be the owner of the Democrat party.
God bless the United States of America!
