I didn't mention "Jewish". I said Zionist. There's a difference. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c603926bb3f7a245000011 adegiulio Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:45:22 -0500 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c603926bb3f7a245000011 What does Soros have to do with this? http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c6029fecad04775a00001b gaurav2020 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:41:19 -0500 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c6029fecad04775a00001b At $33m per year, it is $129m in 4 years. 200m is a onetime gain which you cannot attribute to the 4 years alone. So investing $150m is actually on the higher end of what one might invest, taking into account that even GOP wanted to increase taxes for high earners though not at the rate level, but via closing loopholes. Here is food for though: Having set up a business he understands what drives productivity and he actually thinks that there is policy on GOP side which will benefit him much more in his business. Obviously, it is a long strech to think that better policy for businesses is good for the country as well. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c60259ecad04795a00001c Batman Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:40:09 -0500 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c60259ecad04795a00001c Yea, right...and Soros is such a humanitarian...HAHAHA. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c601d5ecad04985a00000a john1066 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:37:57 -0500 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c601d5ecad04985a00000a And here shows one of the main problems with the system. People like his can use their vast wealth to increase the odds that they will get a tax cut. It does not matter to them what it does to the rest of the country / people of the country. It's just about getting his tax rate lowered. and by lowered I mean zero or less. The rest of the country does not matter to folks like him. Folks like him are out for them self nothing more. Don't believe it can go less then a zero tax rate? Just take a look at <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/fund-managers-are-worse-than-investment-bankers-2012-12" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >http://www.businessinsider.com/fund-managers-are-worse-than-investment-bankers-2012-12</a> ""Most money made in the 90s was from 'tax and dividend arbitrage'. Example: the Italian government wanted to encourage foreigners buying Italian shares. So they said, if you are a foreigner you get 140% of that share's dividend, effectively a subsidy. At the same time Italian nationals would get only 80% of that dividend, a withholding tax." If it can happen there it can happen in the US. That's a 40% tax subsidy for people like Adelson. And yes that money comes from the other tax payers. It has nothing to do with fair tax. As folks like Adelson show it's about a zero or better tax rate. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c60152ecad04de5300001d anotherblackguy Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:35:46 -0500 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c60152ecad04de5300001d Ah yes, when in doubt, blame a Jewish conspiracy. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c5ffc26bb3f7fe3e000018 d Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:29:06 -0500 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c5ffc26bb3f7fe3e000018 Adelson is a warmongering Zionist of the armchair variety. That's the kind that uses their money to foment conflict and subvert US national interests. All while sitting comfortably at home enjoying a glass of fine wine. In Sheldon’s case, he’s simply found that Republicans are more agreeable to carrying water for Israel than any of the Democrats that he could buy. The man is a loathsome corpulent bottom-feeder. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c5feb769beddb24c000010 adegiulio Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:24:39 -0500 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c5feb769beddb24c000010 This man disgusts me. After seeing his vast fortune dwindle to nearly nothing under a Republican president (Bush), he has made more money in the last 4 years under Obama than any man in history over the same length of time. He should be sending Obama a steady stream of lobster tails and hookers, instead of the constant barrage of hate.
