10 Men Who Destroy - Part II

George Soros, the wealthy son of Hungarian parents, spent most of his life making billions. Boyer said the main reason George Soros makes the list was his monetary support of liberal causes.

Soros had a friendship with Ginsberg, the beatnik/hippie who campaigned with Leary in the ’60s and ’70s for the legalization of drugs. Boyer said Soros credits Ginsberg with educating him on why drugs should be legalized. “Soros and Ginsberg became friends in the mid-1980s,” explained Boyer, “so much so that Ginsberg was a regular weekend visitor over at Soros’s East Side penthouse, right up until his death in 1997.”

It was his money that funded the original California ballot initiative back in the 1990s to create the so-called “marijuana clinics” that have now popped up in scores of other states. Soros has continued to support liberal causes, including hate crime legislation, taking away churches’ tax-exempt status, and removing the prison system entirely in favor of rehabilitation over incarceration.
