"And who said anything about Soros being a "dictator" to anything, ESPECIALLY OWS?"

Don,

You are totally missing the point.


We live in a corporatocracy - i.e. a system where billionaires and corporations have more political clout than ordinary people because they can buy it.

OWS thinks we should be living in a democracy - i.e. a system where all people have equal political clout, regardless of whether they have money or not.

Soros, may be a saint, but that does not change the fact that he has wildly disproportionate political influence.

It is the imbalance in political enfranchisement and in wealth that is under scrutiny, not whether Soros is a nice guy.

As nice or as mean as he might be, he cannot be on 'our side' - his existence as an example of the divide between the super rich and ordinary people is a matter of concern.
