“Those earnings are not the achievement of risk-takers,” Mr Soros said. “These are gifts, hidden gifts, from the government, so I don’t think that those monies should be used to pay bonuses. There’s a resentment which I think is justified.” The banksters continue to siphon money from the rest of us, aided and abetted [...] I’ve always been different with one foot over the line Winding up somewhere one step ahead or behind It ain’t been so easy but I guess I shouldn’t complain I’ve always been crazy but it’s kept me from going insane I lived in Austin in ’75 towards the end of “the ropers and the [...] The fighting terrorism argument makes no sense.
