Billionaires screwing over millionaires for ILL GOTTEN GAINS!

Coz the middle class is broke they gotta go after the “lower tier” millionaires

Because we don’t understand the pathology of the rich.

We’ve been saturated with cultural images and a kind of cultural deification of wealth and those who have wealth.

We are being–you know, they present people of immense wealth as somehow leaders–oracles, even. And we don’t grasp internally what it is an oligarchic class is finally about or how venal and morally bankrupt they are.

It’s insane.

And meanwhile the Federal Reserve is buying $85 billion a month worth of junk bonds and giving money at virtually zero percent interest to Goldman Sachs. I mean, it’s insane. The failure to address the mortgage and foreclosure crisis, the failure to address the chronic unemployment, underemployment, which–I mean, half of the country now lives in poverty, including the working poor, or near poverty.
