You'd think the money man behind an array of left wing organizations wouldn't need CNN to get out his message about the death and "bankruptcy" of free-market capitalism, but there was left-wing billionaire and financier George Soros on "GPS" Feb.18
Interviewed by Fareed Zakaria, Soros said he disagreed with President Obama's decision to bail out the banks. Soros would have nationalized them. Soros also advocated for capping CEO pay, and imposing additional taxes on financial transactions and for banks based on size.
Zakaria offered praise for Obama, saying "You can look at any (issue) all by itself, but I think he's done pretty well and in some ways hasn't gotten the credit for it because the crisis was averted. So now the Republicans can say ‘there was no problem, we didn't need to spend all this money."

One of these days this guy is gonna make the wrong people angry.
I'm sure he has hired plenty of good protection though.
Why not cap his pay and spread his wealth?
....another billionaire who made all his money in Capitalism now denouncing it. How funny is that?
More like the death of crony capitalism. But then again, Soros knows that - corrupt SOB.
When did we have free market capitalism last? 1905?
When have really had Free Market Capitalism? The govt has made a mess of it. When this country was founded we were close, but it has been down hill since then.
Personally, I think Fareed Zakaria is in the same traitor class as Soros. Why should I listen to some foriegn-born leftist attack America? Did Fareed-baby identify Soros as a convicted felon?
A billionaire lecturing that CEO pay should be capped. We are truly in bizarro world.
If capitalism is dead, then he won’t need any of his accumilated wealth. He can donate his billions to make part of a daily interest payment toward the national debt. Better yet, donate it FreeRepublic.com!
“Interviewed by Fareed Zakaria, Soros said,,,,”
Foreign born, interviewing foreign born. Why not throw in Madeliele Albright as a moderator? Seems like a lotta foreign roots types generally don’t agree with the American way,, who woulda thunk it?
You also can tell he really does not like capitalism. He wrote a book called, The Crisis of Global Capitalism. Makes you wonder why he hates a system which has made him obscenely wealthy.
I wouldn’t call it a bankruptcy but rather a rape or set of rapes.
Sure, it's easy to say someone else's money should be restricted.
Now I want him to support a cap on the amount of investment growth an individual can earn. Otherwise, he's just the same greedy, mean capitalist swine as everyone else. :-)
The only good thing Fareed ever wrote was a fairly interesting article on German wines. Other than that he is a typical foreigner, dead set on ending the USA as it was intended.
Oh but you know HE’S NOT a greedy capitalist. It’s ok for him to have the net worth he has because he’s compassionate. *barf*
Wonder why Fareed, the gay oriental did not have that other Commie Billionaire W. Buffett along with the Commie Felon Soros and make a discussion of it?
