The person interviewed was Chris Hedges he was a graduate of Harvard and was a respected foreign correspondent for the NYT for 15 years winning a Pulitzer prize for his coverage of the war on terror. Hardly a "kook" as you seemed to insinuate.Originally Posted by koman
The super rich are a lying, conspiring, out of touch group of people who are obsessed with hoovering up as much wealth as possible and doing it at the expense of the working class. So yes we hate them. As far as someone who works hard and lives with integrity while becoming successful more power to them. But the chances of upward mobility have deteriorated dramatically in the US and anyone that disputes that is either an idiot or completely out of touch with reality.Originally Posted by koman
Koman you have a very narrow and naive view. In another thread you praise the surging stock market trumpeting its climb. What you refused to acknowledge is the real reason the market has been jumping is due to the artificial stimulation of corporate stock buy backs. Corporations putting their money into buying back their own stock is not a sign of a healthy economy. But you could care less because today you have more money in your trading account.
