The greatest enemy the rich have, is themselves.

Cooking their own golden goose.

Not much use writing the politicians, as they are bought and paid for, or they are out of a job. Look how freaked out they are by Trump.

As I keep trying to point out, these problems go much deeper than anyone seems willing to examine.

The rich these days are just riding a wave of making the economic medium the locus of society.

Yet to store all the money constantly being drained out of useful circulation, debt has to be generated.

Yes, all the actual corporations are mostly overinflated bubbles, but even they are a fraction of the derivatives market, which is basically parimutuel wagering.

A telling description I read is that America has become a maggot infested corpse. The Democrats are rooting for the maggots and the Republicans are rooting for the corpse.

Now the Fed is trying to balance the dollar against an economy dependent on low interest rates.

I think we need to accept the fact we are about where the Soviets were, in the late 80's.

The basis of a healthy society is collective responsibility, with rights as reward. When it's rights as ordained and responsibility as optional, the cancer is metastasizing.
