Okay so you sympathize with the guy, I understand that already. Still though, destroying society like George Soros is doing according to you I think would take over a bit more then feeling sympathy for the poor billionaire.

It's just funny how ignorant people claim Capitalism is so terrible, yet the politicians they support who are against capitalism..are funded by capitalists.

What if I told you half the things you consume fueled a massive worldwide slave market that is growing continuously? Would you convict yourself for your crime? No. You'd plead ignorance, because it's not a crime. What if you didn't stop consuming? would you be guilty then? No. Of course not. You are totally apathetic towards a world that is completely abstract from your own, because you're human. But you are the exact same as businessmen that exploit others and cause strife in an unpredictable game called economics. Honestly. They look at what they take from people, and they see a middle class of consumers happy to give it to them. Would you even expect them to wonder whether they are helping the economy? Do you wonder if you are helping a slave market when you buy a house made of bricks or a diamond mined from the depths of a toxic cave?
And you preach ignorance...

^but actually, business who are fairly succesful know full well the effects their actions are having on the economy and the lived of people. and unlike the person who lives a comfortable life while the slave trade grows, the BUSINESSMAN, often earns far more than he needs, and keeps on growing this amount, often not even needing it for personal use, luxurious or otherwise. unlike the citizen who cant help it without significant personal sacrifice, the businessman CAN help it with little to no sacrifice to his own person or family in any reasonable, consumer way.
