According to Bloomberg, Soros moved assets shortly before the change to Ireland, seen as a possible shelter from the law. But tax attorneys told Bloomberg they don't know of a way for money managers to avoid the bill in 2017.

Could owe up to 7 Billion in tax.
This just makes me so pissed....because him and the left always scream about the pub's being the wealthy and not paying their "fair share"....what a total A$$.
How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!
This is like Cheney's Haliburton dealing with Iran out of shell companies in the Caribbean Islands, right?Originally Posted by Soonerjeepman
Dint read the link..maybe this was covered but ALL of those
whose net worth is north of 7 figures take advantage of all
the loopholes...all of 'em! IMHO, close those frickin' holes
and make 'em ALL pay, that includes all the corporations
(after all, they're people, too!).
Not real sure...why don't you tell us all about it.

lol...dude you're just like 8th....comprehend what I wrote...you libs are the ones screaming about the pubs and all their wealth loopholes...but your main supporter took advantage big time...suppose you don't see the irony in it all...lol. Typical.
Where did I say anything about the pubs NOT doing it?

I'm happy to shut down all loopholes. I'm good with tariffs to try to penalize businesses for moving out of the US. I'm for penalizing employers for hiring illegals.
Penalize Soros. Please!
Do you equate a critique of the capital gains tax to this?
When the left has meltdowns over the Koch brothers, but can find no fault in George Soros, it is beyond pathetic, it's almost amusing, almost.

I think it's funny that the Koch Brothers have performed a major coupe. They've suckered the base into sharing their plight.
"Fair share" is often up for debate. Should there be a flat tax for everyone, should the wealthy pay more, should the poor get more assistance?
The interesting thing about this is when the alleged tax bill comes due... 2017. Guess who will likely have a super duper (House, Senate and Oval Office) majority by then?
---You know nothing about the Koch brothers
It would take a lot for the Koch Brothers to rise to the level of evil as the left's "hero" George Soros. To turn in fellow Jews to the Nazis to save himself during World War II is quite an accomplishment. And the left elevates this POS to Sainthood? wow.
I guess this makes some sense in view of the hatred the left has for Israel.

I think the continual 8th/serenity comparisons are a bit obnoxious. They're both liberals, but that's about where the comparison ends.
Sort of. But that's not the point. The point is that Cheney wasn't running around arguing for higher taxes on 'rich guys like me.' Soros has long made that argument while making moves to shelter his assets overseas and away from the IRS.
Frankly, I have no problem with someone making legal moves to shelter their assets from taxation. But I do have a problem with a bozo who tells everyone they need to pay more only to turn around and shelter his/hers.
Whatever.
I agree. 8th was a unique personality. Thank goodness.

I don't like Soros but I have no problem with what he has done in that respect. Yes, he wants higher taxation but he wants higher taxation for everybody, not just him. Why would Soros pay higher taxes while he watches the other uber-rich use all available legal tax strategy to dodge taxes?
Yup other than them both being Liberals, that Twist spin and deflect every subject back onto repubs and Conservatives they aint much alike cept Ive put SN on iggy like I did 8th.

I see the point. While both may be guilty, they are different "crimes". I love bringing up the Cheney/Iran links. It's good fun.
I also agree on the hypocracy of Soros. I'd encourage anyone to find where I may have ever defended George Soros. As apposed to those other two billionaires, I know little about George other than the fact that he's up there as one of the favorite pinata's from the left - Jeremiah Wright, Saul Alinsky, George Soros, etc.
Soros is a lot of things but he isn't hypocritical on this point. Hypocritical is a word that is way overused and often incorrectly.
