I think I saw that comes out to almost 1.6 million per hour!

I believe we could all live on that.

It would be hard for Soros not to make bank. Especially when he has the U.S. government pumping money in his Brazilian oil company.

I hold no grudge against those making boatloads of money, as I'd like to be one of 'em.
Opportunity is what America's all about...when there are those who would begrudge a man his earning potentials and single him out for public attention we have the beginnings of class warfare. As we have seen in this country, the move towards 'redistribution' of wealth is soon to follow, once we can isolate and victimize people based on salary. It is as UN-American as a swastika. You may not like the political leanings of certain individuals, but to single high-earners out for government action is unconscionable.

What are you talking about? The government is not singling them out. And people have been isolated by how much they make for over a 100 years...it's called income tax.
