Seems the lion's share of Soros's billions are kept overseas -- Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and Curaçao, among some others of convenience. Quite beyond the jurisdiction of the IRS, by no coincidence, yet ole George S is quite willing that others' fortunes be taxed, once he's seen to it he can't be unduly touched.
If I had a thousandth as much, I'd move an appreciable fraction of it offshore too -- but I'm not going to turn around and say "now tax that other guy."

I take solace in the thought of your integrity, UG. "If I can hide my money from the government, I'll let everyone else do it, as well. It will be our little secret."
See Dick and George. See Dick make outrageous war profiteering money from his Halliburten connections. See Dick hand George a chunk of the pie. See Dick and George open savings accounts in the Cayman Islands. See Dick and George give a gentleman's handshake to their fellow zillionaires "You guys should discover the joys of international banking, too! (Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge) Run, Libby, run!
So, who's going to pay for all those wars of your, UG? You know the ones the US is waging to make everyone free to have off shore back accounts and not pay taxes, too? An army travels on its stomach, as the saying goes. Somebody has GOT to feed those guys and keep 'em in ammo and buy nice flag draped coffins to send them back home in.
