The money extorted from the public under the guise of “freedom” is distorting politics and personalities to this day. In the form of tax free foundations. These people moved their money to a place PURPOSELY FORMED to hide their wealth permanently, yet give the the power to influence all of life with it without spending a dime of it.
Robber Barons, a perfect word for them all. From Carnegie, through Soros, Gates and Paul Allen.

Fail to see how this makes them “robber barons”.
You DON’T have to follow the ‘precepts’ these people put down, you know ...
The article doesn't talk about the distortion of politics. But it does point out that the so-called "robber barons" got wealthy by providing things to the public that were better and cheaper. That continued through to the products from Gates and Paul Allen. Not sure what Soros produced, but there are economic efficiency arguments for markets and Soros is a market participant.
PURPOSELY FORMED to hide their wealth permanently,
Purposely formed to keep their wealth from being taxed at confiscatory rates. The charitable works done by Gates to empower poor women and eliminate disease are pretty amazing. The result is improving quality of life for millions of the world's poorest and most importantly, lower birth rates from being less poor.
