HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
That is hilarious...... So, when does he go up the river?
"the Tax Police"!
Wow, and we thought the I.R.S. was bad!
Good for them...nailing Soros.
I can't stand that a$$.
Somehow... somewhere, its Bush's fault.
Its just like Willie Nelson being a hard, pipe-hitt'n Liberal but he too, did not know that he had to pay taxes.
Sounds like the Putin is after him for his support of the opposition in Ukraine. I hope they ruin him!
If they are anything like Russia, Soros better be running for his life or he's getting tossed in Prison.
Well, when your that wealthy the next thing you like to do is mess with people's lives or rule like a king...
When money is no objec people do silly things.. Like not paying taxes... cause nobleman dont pay taxes...
Couldn't happen to a nicer person.
He better run. He is too ugly to hide.
maybe they can appoint Paul Volcker as the special investigator here too.
Done. This is funny! I can see someone the Kz. embassy getting a call from GW's cabinet. "Hello, we have an idea. Can we send a diplomat around? Good. How's the weather?"
Too bad Dick Nixon wasn't president right now and had Soros giving him a bad time during his re-election. Nixon wanted his IRS Commissioner to be a "ruthless son of a bitch, that would make them PAY," to quote the former president...
Strange. I always believed Soros was a creature of the KGB.
If Kerry had been elected, he would give Soros immunity (or at least ensure that K didn't mess with the democrats #1 boy!).
Cool. Put him on the Interpol list, and maybe soon he'll be mining for gold in Siberia.
