There are ways to handle that legally, such as restricting their
business opportunities in this market if they do that.
How is that going for you so far?
Nowhere of course. I said there were ways to restrict them. I didn't
say
we were doing it.
Nobody in the government is going to do anything that is bad for their
biggest contributors.
The dirty little secret is that most of the wealth held by the 1% is
an illusion and would quickly evaporate...
Banksters and stockbrokers waiting in line at soup kitchens and
jumping
off buildings? Sounds good to me.
I am sure you loved the stock brokers jumping out the windows in 1929
but they got off easy. Read some Steinbeck.
I'm sure I've read more Steinbeck than you have.
I bet that is right. You are missing the point tho. If it rains on
Wall Street, it is a tsunami on Main Street
Only because we've let it become that way.
This is a bubble that makes 1929 look like a bounced check at the
grocery store.
To start with, the US is not going to be an economy backed with gold
and a world class manufacturing base that is simply under used.
We are an over extended paper tiger with very little in hard assets to
drag us up out of the mud when our paper wealth evaporates. The world
will follow us down the drain.
I had no idea you also were a trained economist. Wow. And a first-rate
non-scientific outboard repair guy, too
