George Soros if one cool financier. In the past, he's even publicly criticized the very system (international curruncy speculation) that made him rich, calling it undemocratic.

Now THAT pic is funny!

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

A liberal who's a hypocrite?!?!? Quick, call the Kennedy's and the Gores, ask them to send some limousines to pick up their friends so we can have a champagne dinner at Spago's to discuss this crisis!

I think it's wrong to call him a hypocrite for speaking out against something that made him rich.
My sister intentionally made less money one year, because due to stupid tax laws, she actually came out ahead that way. But she was opposed to those stupid tax laws.
Warren Buffet was so opposed to Bush's dividend tax cuts that came on Nightline with Ted Koppel to speak out against them. Koppel asked "but Berkshire Hathoway doesn't pay a dividend does it?" Buffet responded "well if you make it (dividends) tax free, even though I disagree with the policy, I'll do what's good for the shareholders (pay them tax free dividends)."
Is Buffet a hypocrite? In my opinion, no.
