"will someone explain why a guy who has made so much money from capitalism, hates capitalism and democracy?"

I'll take a stab at this but keep in mind I could be off base. It seems ol'Soros and the Bush family had some energy dealings back in the 1970s. Both are for globalization but they part ways on the type of globalization. Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. see globalization through legitimate means with transparency via trade agreements with clauses for workers, rights, etc. On the other hand, Soros likes taking advantage of globalization under the table Mafia style without a lot of checks and balances or fair trade agreements.

This is why Soros hates the Bush family so much. The Bush family is basically destroying Soros' system for under handed dealing. But Soros makes huge amounts of money anyways so I am not sure what his beef is. I suppose fair trade makes it harder for Soros to obtain what he wants. And what he wants is anybody's guess but for sure he wants to achieve it through unethical means.

Either way, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. pissed on his parade and he ain't happy about it.

yours is the best answer that i’ve received on several threads.

if your thesis is true, then after the bushes are out of power, then soros should lighten up on the pubies?

he’ll find john mccain more to his liking?

Bwahahaha!

The Bush family's vision of globalization is one hell of a lot closer to the Soros method than you are suggesting. The main difference is that Soros actively seeks to destroy America, whereas Bush is only willing to sacrifice America if it makes a profit.
