Notice the sneering tone. The Kochs are evil because they are only interested in politics because they want to lower their taxes, while Soros is noble, because he supports higher taxes. The is always that assumption that higher taxes are good.
Maybe the Kochs realize that higher taxes are evil in and of themselves, regardless of what it means to their personal finances? Surely they can afford whatever the government is demanding. A change of three percent in the capital gains tax isn’t going to effect their lifestyle, one way or the other.
These idiots at the Times just can’t but play their old, dog-eared class-warfare card. Besides the race card, it’s the only card they have left in the deck.
It’s not a sacrifice when the higher taxes lead to government money that gets funnelled to your businesses by government. Interlocked government and big business is a component of fascist economics — and Soros and his president, Obama, are fascists.

Every time wealthy leftists talk about the need for higher taxes on the wealthy they should be called on to open their checkbooks and give to the government what they feel is its due. Notice Gates and Buffett, who support higher taxes, are currently basking in praise from the liberal media for their pledges to give their fortunes to charity. They can just as easily give their fortunes to the government.
