And? It's an editorial, hence the loaded language and poorly elucidated facts. It doesn't mean much more than a mouse fart in the night.

Here is the long and short on billionaires, all of them. If concern for the human condition was their number one priority or even a higher priority than making money, they would not be billionaires. You can put Soros on a pedestal if you want, I'll just keep alert to what he is doing and how he may be trying to exploit the system. It is a dog eat dog world.

Who has put Soros on a pedestal? I don't know anything about the man, my default assumption about his is that he's an asshole. If you really want to "keep alert to what he is doing" (sounds like an obsession to me
) I suggest you avoid opinion pieces from folks predisposed to talk shit about him.
What I do know is that you and otto (and a whole collection of the usual right wing opinion-makers) are fond of making fairly illogical, unsubstantiated claims about who he is and the things that motivate him. If I were more like you or otto, I'd make some sort of foolish connection between your obsessions with Soros and some sort of deep seated fear of his power. But that would be dumb, so I won't do it.
I will reiterate that talking about ol' moneybags mcliberal does seem to be a convenient way of reinforcing the laughable notion that the conservative perspective is currently under credible attack, and is therefore a useful strategy for rallying the thoughtless. So, in other words, you're being chumped out.
