T, you are right - and BIG Capital knows this and uses it as a weapon against society. i tell people the news that congress is going to steal their 401k and they say "they can't do that." i reply, "if they can take your first born son and ship them to vietnam based upon a gulf of tonkin lies, they can take your 401k, too." and IRA next. then your bank account. then your home when you can't pay it. duh! these criminal TYRANTS WILL NOT STOP! the level of tyranny we shall see as a nation is EXACTLY EQUAL to the level of tyranny we shall accept without taking societal level action. why would this tyranny ever end? looting society is like taking candy from a baby.

I really think that most of the nihilistic posters on SI just haven't read much history. America has been far crazier in the past. Most of us grew up post WWII in a prosperous time of domestic peace, growth and American ascendancy, but this is hardly our norm. There have been many economic collapses in our history. After the great depression, we got the notion that we could control economic cycles - WRONG. All we can do is affect the regularity of boom and bust. If you expand out to the world stage, Rome fell, but Italians are having fun.
