Buffett did not get bailed out. He was a small part of the effort to prevent a financial collapse.

Buffett is a long term investor. Soros is a currency speculator who sometimes manipulates markets to his own advantage. Could not be more different in terms of their methods. That said Soros has repeatedly proposed simple legal changes to put him and his kind out of business, but while it's legal and profitable to do what he does, he does it.

I have respect for people who can find the "loopholes" in the system, exploit it, but also work to close it. This is a process in which a selfish individual can slowly improve the overall system, while not having to behave altruistically.
