Billionaire George Soros funds liberal causes which advocate higher taxes for the wealthy. It turns out that Soros himself isn't paying enough to the government. Bloomberg News reports the 84-year-old investor has amassed $13.3 billion through use of a loophole called deferrals. Congress closed the loophole in 2008 and Soros owes an estimated $6.7 billion in back taxes.
After months of build-up for Hillary Clinton as a shoo-in choice as the Democratic nominee for president in 2016, now she has company. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., a self-described Socialist, has announced his candidacy and gives signs of mounting an aggressive campaign.
In his news conferences, President Obama often follows a practice of giving longwinded responses, which has the effect of limiting the number of questions reporters can ask. But he couldn't get by with that while being interviewed by middle school student Osman Yahya. After rambling for more than three minutes about experiencing writer's block when he wrote his speeches, the kid interviewer politely said: "I think you've sort of covered everything about that question."
