    I'm talking about the US government. Obama has been every bit as obeisant to banks as Bush was, and Clinton before that. The banks rule, but thats the golden rule- they who have the gold, make the rules. The obscene and accelerating concentration of wealth in the USA has been accompanied by a concentration of political power among moneyed interests, paramount among them the fed/banking cartel. You are a society of rentiers' now, most wealth at the top end does not accumulate from making stuff, rather buying, selling and renting stuff.

    it would be difficult to name anyone who worked in the finance industry for an extended period of time that could be a role model for kids.

    that said, soros has donated $8 billion (with a b) to human rights, education, and public health causes.

    in some ways they're the flip side of the same coin...with one key difference.

    the koch brothers use their wealth and influence to increase their wealth and influence.

    sorors uses his wealth and influence to promote democracy, human rights and economic reform.

    ^ just what you'd expect...

    cato institute
    heritage foundation
    americans for prosperity
    freedom works

    they were key funders of the astro-turfed 'tea party'


    and i'm sure they throw some money at a few charities for the tax write off.

    Dunno - I asked a straight question not a comparison question. The Koch brothers remind me of those two old boys in the muppets. I would think the world as a whole will give a sigh of relief when those two bastards snuff it.

    So you think Soros is a decent bloke then Snubby?

    As decent as someone who has amassed that type of fortune. Yes I do.

    The Kock brothers are evil personified.

    He funds some funny activities does our George.

    EU Funding of Homosexual Lobby with Pedophile Links Questioned


    The German wiki makes the link. Both the Logo (hmmm, funny that) and the connection is removed from the English version)
    International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association

    Anyway - Who is the future of the GOP? Democrat people, which GOP person who you pick, pretending for a moment that you actually wanted credible opposition and did not want GOP to disappear leaving a one party solution. Which of their people are credible?
