Wow. The most concise, astute summary of our situation I've ever read.

I'm well aware that the game is rigged against the public. It doesn't matter what reputation the principals have, when it comes to greed versus ethics, greed wins every time. Interactive Brokers, for instance, was interested in buying MF Global just two days ago, but it only took them two hours to figure out they were a fraud. Why can't the regulators do the same? Answer: the regulators are bribed to look the other way. There can be no other explanation for the constant failure of regulators to do their jobs. There are profound limits to what I can say here. I hope you understand that. However, what you ignore is the power of the slave. Ultimately, the slave becomes the master of the master and the master becomes the slave of the slave. The reason for this is that the slave works and uses his intellect which the master becomes a fat cat who relies primarily on his guns and weapons. That is to say, the master becomes complacent as the slaves outfoxes him. History proves my point as the guerillas of the world have beaten the US Military Machine. You reek from despair and underestimate the power of the creative human spirit. Not everyone (who is not affiliated with the government) has suffered the same fate as you.
