There is a certain insanity among these liberal billionaires. Things that George Soros has done would drive a normal man insane with guilt but he does them without a twinge of guilt or a look back.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yes, C.S. nails it, doesn't he. . .

No question, Soros was a man totally corrupted before he had 'power'. . .he just enjoys his corruption more - thrives on it, really - now that he has so much of it.

These people are thieves of the highest and most dangerous order; 'thick as thieves' - all w/o a reasoned, moral conscience - who do they trust not to have a dagger in their hand - aimed at their back, when so disposed.

While their conscience will never keep them awake. . .pondering thieving practicalities among friends, might.
