...it is so small and pathetic that any reasonable person can only see it as adding insult to injury. Why are very smart people like Buffett and Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, unaware of this? For the same reason that, hundreds of years ago, in pre-revolutionary France the royalty could not understand why the peasants were starving.

No, no, no. The reason is not "misunderstanding." Even on the face of it, it is a completely irrational conclusion. People who can manipulate markets and governments to make billions of dollars do not "misunderstand" reactions to their work. But if you disallow "misunderstaning" - what's left as an explanation?

Gloating. That's right, gloating. People who can manipulate markets and governments to make billions of dollars ENJOY it. And they enjoy the RESULTS of it - the poverty, the social destruction, the confusion, the despair. And they GLOAT over that suffering by grinding their victim's faces in it, by doing things like throwing those victims a nickle and making them say "thank you" for being allowed to struggle another day.

People need to learn about evil, and stop being confused. At the very least, stop being laughed at by evil for their denial of their victimization.

The takeover of Washington, D. C., in broad daylight by Wall Street.
A bloodless coup.

The Wall Street Liberal, created a panic, and cleaned house. Then blamed every one else.

If that money was loaned to small business, we would be doing fine.

I don’t know where we go from here, It does not look good.
