Haha, I guess you’re right, “so what”. They all provide tax havens for the rich openly, and get tax payer subsidies when needed. I still think think he has tennis balls of steel. Vanguard is pretty solid as far as most of these Asset Management companies go, maybe it’s just a hit piece.

Fidelity is another story. A private family managing almost 2 $TRILLION USD worth of assets is way too powerful in this crony capitalist/caviar communist society the US has become.

These are things I find so interesting. Robert Gates has a direct relationship with Fidelity. That name is familiar. So does Zbigniew, who seems to have a lot of influence in political system. His presence was larger than Soros during the Carter admin. "Gates was nominated by Republican President George W. Bush as Secretary of Defense after the 2006 election, replacing Donald Rumsfeld. He was confirmed with bipartisan support.[3] In a 2007 profile written by former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, Time named Gates one of the year's most influential people.[3] In 2008, Gates was named one of America's Best Leaders by U.S. News & World Report.[4] He continued to serve as Secretary of Defense in President Barack Obama's administration.[5] He retired in 2011. “He’ll be remembered for making us aware of the danger of over-reliance on military intervention as an instrument of American foreign policy,” said former Senator David L. Boren.[6] Gates was presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award, by President Obama during his retirement ceremony.[7] According to a Washington Post book review, he is "widely considered the best defense secretary of the post-World War II era".
