You say, “These were NEVER ASKED BEFORE.” There must be some mistake. Perhaps you have me confused with someone else (alternate universe???)? At any rate here is the pre-existing reference to my two questions: Try re-read that post paying particular attention to the two concluding paragraphs which I will reference and quote, in their entirety, as follows: Message 26966225 1) “Do you find any personal, ethical, political or economic flaws in Soros that might cause you to question the sincerity of his professed/underlying motivations?”2) I can appreciate your disagreement. From the theme of so many of your posts, may I assume that you are philosophically, what we understand to be, “progressive”? If not, why do you invariably seem to support their talking points? No apology is necessary; we all realize difficult recalling every post. :0) -------------------------------------------------------------- With that behind us, let me try and answer your query, in the generic sense that I hope you will y truly generic and all encompassing. Yes. I guess I’m old fashioned enough to believe that NO citizen, or gaggle of citizens including the government, has moral right to demand unearned compensation from any other citizens regardless of sex, race, ethnic background, religion, socioeconomic status. shoe size, nor any other absurdity. My opinion incorporates disagreement with all farm subsidies etc. to all farmers, including multi-millionaire farmers, and all “corporate” welfare including the GM, Chrysler, Bank bailouts, etc., plus the federal underwriting of all labor-union contract obligations.P.S. When you say, “I ALWAYS question the publicly-expressed claims of EVERY INVESTOR! And I *always* expect that their main 'motivation' is self-interest!”, I wholeheartedly agree.
