With all due respect. I have witnessed, in the past 10 years, the liquidating of the infrastructure and glue that helped to keep our society together, and all in the name of what? Greater wealth disparity. More debt. Record bankruptcies. The true effects of this has been masked by the illusion of increased wealth in an inflated market mania. All ya have to do is hold the right magic beans and salvation is yours. Insiders, paid in stock options, have 'earned' theirs. Money managers, who skim from the top, have 'earned' theirs. The Al Dunlaps of the world have taken very good care of themselves thank you very much. And the working people of North America, who have been thrown to the wolves, have been told that they too can be part of this Magic Kingdom. But of course. They are told, with straight faces no less, that it is the high cost of their very wages and benefits that threaten their Magic Kingdom. Trade them in for some magic beans. Trust us. What twisted logic is this? Pay no heed that the profits made from these concessions 'guarantee' the wealth of the insiders (the risk takers). Don't question why the profits you have produced have been invested in state of the art plants in third world countries, where people will work for a pittance, and are now being used 'against' you. This never-ending downward spiral brought on by the free flow of capital and goods is, after all, nirvana. God forbid that the people who actually produce the goods and profits, who pay the bill for all this crap, who have mortgaged their lives for their companies, should ask for a piece of the pie. What an unruly mob. |
