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

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

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

  7. 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.

    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.
