Like I said the other day, one can only believe Soros to be "good" and Charles Koch "evil" if you align yourself with the philosophy of the Left.

You have to ignore the facts about how the two of them attained their riches. One was a financial markets speculator (manipulator?), the other built up a massive business that has included cattle ranching, oil/gas production, refining, equipment manufacturing, consumer products like paper and synthetic textiles, and much more.

But one leans Left, the other Libertarian. Hence the Good and Evil.

Have you ever wondered why billionaires like George Soros financially support politicians who say they will increase taxes on the rich ? The answer quite simply is that the tax increases are most often put on people trying to become rich, not those already rich. Hence, the rich, big government advocates can gain far more by buying the politicians. The bought politicians then provide them with confidential information about administrative decisions, which these donors then use to place big bets in the market, making themselves much richer. If you have deep financial pockets and inside information, you can make huge amounts of money when markets drop.

Mr. Soros, the Democrats' financial angel, is often referred to as the man who broke the bank of England in the 1992 Sterling crisis. During that episode, he made $1 billion in one day at the expense of British taxpayers. The relevant question is, did Mr. Soros bet a couple of billion dollars on mere guesses of what the German, French and British officials would do, or did he have inside information?

A member of the British Parliament, who was a close adviser to the British chancellor at the time, told me he believes Soros was acting on insider information obtained from the French central bank and the German Bundesbank. The insider information was that they would not support the British pound, despite a pre-existing arrangement to do so. Others familiar with the situation have made similar charges.
