"Destroying America will be the culmination of my life's work."
It's claimed that billionaire investor George Soros uttered those unlikely words in an interview with The Australian.
Call me skeptical.
I'll remove the word "bogus" from this post as soon as someone provides the exact date and title of the alleged Australian article in which this exact quote appeared.
Any takers?

I thought not.
Come on, David. You know what the inscription says inside the President’s ring. It says, “made in India.”
Anybody who does not know that probably does not know that Mitt Romney has a one inch asparagus and wears a ring that says, “The final solution: kill all non-millionaires.”
(Just kidding.)
@Gil: I love it! Honestly, these people are living in a parallel universe.
I found this on Yahoo answers from Vito 1964.

Trying to trace this “quote”.
Most right wing blogs just dropped the quote “Destroying America will be the culimation of my life’s work” quote without any source whatsoever.
Fortunately, one of them did sort of cite it:
“Soros also told “The Australian” that the world financial crisis was “stimulating” and “in a way, the culmination of my life’s work.”"
So I searched back-issues of The Australian and that led to an interview with him I found in The Australian where he supposedly made the remark:

You can go check it out for yourself, this isn’t a direct quote and it’s HORRIBLY out of context. So no, he didn’t really say that.
Here’s the ACTUAL quote from the interview:
_______________________________________…
“Soros: I wrote a series of articles in the course of the year, I wrote a book, I published a book and I’m just about to publish a sequel to last year’s book, bringing it up to date, I am just working on it now.
Interviewer: So do you have a sense that things are coming together for you now?
Soros: It is in a way a culminating point of my life’s work, so to speak.”
