The equivalence of politics and money is elegantly proven by observing the social circles politicians run in. Poth politics and money distill down to power and they will never be separable. |

Apropos, here's a snip from a news story about the hearings with Fuld, the Lehman CEO:
Gee what a coincidence that a cousin of the president lives under a money spigot. The degree to which the country is f'cked by the finance sector is staggering. Funny thing is, the serfs have bought into this idea that it's evil and weak to be "jealous" of "success" so nobody cares. People should start thinking just one level down from that on the level of value added vs compensation. By that simple measure, all of our money is stolen - literally - by the finance sector, by the bushelfull. I wonder whether, at the end of they day, the real wealth of middle class serfs is more siphoned by taxes or by the financial sector. What a fascinating question that would be to have answered. |
