Goldman Sachs owns your government

[Robert J. Cordingley]

An interesting tho' provocative article about the current and past
financial crises that some on this list might find interesting.  At
least it seems G-S has a better model than the other guys especially
since (it's claimed) they get to write the rules.

Read it.  An excellent and frightening article.  Is there hope with such financial manipulation and outrageous plutocracy?

You want to know who is to blame for allowing Goldman Sachs to do this over and over again?

Take a little saunter back to the bathroom, and have nice long look into that shiny thing over the sink.  As with practically other aspect of society, inequities sprout and flourish because the aggregate society membership allows them to.  If enough people become enraged, etc. etc., but it seldom happens. 

"Why is that?" I can hear some of you beginning to expostulate.  IMO, it is that fact that the "average" IQ, now pegged to be somewhere in the mid-90's in the US explains it all.  If you don't believe in the IQ as a measure of intelligence, then the other answer is that people, on the average,  just aren't that bright.

Put that in your philosophical pipe and have a nice long toke.
