The rich and powerful are running things and ruining things.

You are most certainly correct.

So say the bonkers-left that seems to have taken over.  Reality is that folks like me who're rich and powerful got this way though hard work.  We're doing fine, but the problem most people got is all the poor weak professional victims that are "running things and ruining things."

You and others did. But, a large number have been corrupt. I've run into them personally. I don't circulate only the lower echelons of the socioeconomic classes. Some of the upper level folks are profoundly corrupt even though they may have made their riches honestly.

All hell is about to break loose. When it does, truth will be the first casualty as someone a long time ago said.

Well, it doesn’t sound like you got your cash by being smart.

What I was referring to was not you, and people who have a million or two socked away.

I was referring to the uber-rich and powerful: those who run JP Morgan and CitiBank, and Chase, and Goldman-Sachs; those who are the top echelons of the tier-1 banking cartel; those like Immelt and the Roberts of Comcast who use their corporate position and their money and influence in order to get involved with fascist-style governmental economics.

They are the ones who are running the show (pushing for QEternity, bail-outs, etc., all the while reaping their bonuses though their financial firms should have been put out of business because of their excessive risk and criminal behavior). They are the ones who are ruining things.

OK?

So before you assume that anyone who ‘blames the rich’ is playing the victim game and you attack them for stating what is wrong with our economic and especially our monetary politicy, ASK for clarification.
