How did Soros get to a position where he used other's money ? He didn't just earn a reputation , did he ? Oh, wait...he did ! No one handed him the job of world's richest man. He had some role in the matter, I'm guessing. Figured out how to get others to use their money, make more of it, and get paid handsomely for it.
I mean, he wasn't Joe Kennedy, running moonshine, or something illegal, but still....

Yes there is, at least there is one great rule maker, and that would be the government. The problem is if the rules allow a few to continue to make more and more money, taking away from the vast majority of others the system at some point will break. Regardless of fair, or right, if the vast majority of people start to feel they are not getting a fair amount for what they are doing it will lead to them taking it one way or another.
Remember the rich need the poor, not the other way around.

That's odd. I thought that govt was of, by and FOR THE PEOPLE.

He didn't just earn a reputation , did he?
Yanno, you used to boost capitalism because it rewarded "hard work", "innovation" and "productivity". Where are all of those justifications now? It's enough of a justification that people can screw others out of money, and because they can they should? If all you want to go by is the "law of the jungle", don't you find it a little hypocritical to be whinging about fairness?

Because some ARE more equal than others! Rappy even said so, in some inane remark about freedom being ruined by democracy. I found it so... unusual... that I've even been quoting him! (see above)
