"Financiers, like bank robbers, do not create wealth. They merely distribute it. While the mob may idolize holdup men in good times, in the bad times it lynches them. What they will do to the new money men when their blood is up, we wait eagerly to find out." - Mobs, Messiahs and Markets
As our economy hurtles towards its meeting with destiny, the political class seeks to assign blame on their enemies for this Greater Depression.
The Republicans would like you to believe that Bill Clinton, Robert Rubin, Chris Dodd, and Barney Frank and their Community Reinvest Act caused the collapse of our financial system.
Democrats want you to believe that George Bush and his band of unregulated free market capitalists created a financial disaster of epic proportions. The truth is that America has been captured by a financial class that makes no distinction between parties.
These barbarians have sucked the life out of a once productive nation by raping and pillaging with impunity while enriching only them.
