Lie lies lies and more damned lies. Some of them also had self interest in the invasion of Iraq to get the oil wealth.

So a huge amount of people lose their homes - savings - jobs and you still have these people lying to the camera as though nothing had happened.

It's a wealth generation system for the wealthy while the less well off suffer.

I saw a program about families destroyed by the foreclosures and it made me weep. I just have to take it that none of these bankers care or the economic professors who are profiting from teaching garbage.

I thought the sods in Enron : The Smartest Guys in the Room - were bad but this lot made them look like saints.

These guys are what George Carlin used to call the "owners" of the country. It's an elite club and none of us are invited. They go to the same schools, visit the same country clubs, sit on the board of directors for each other, and figure out new ways to screw the working class. People like Obama can talk about change all they like, but these guys have too much money and too much political control. Hillary doesn't even try to hide the fact that she is on their payroll.

All those people who are on Wall Street, or the major corporations, or media are the crooks. They have and want to hold on to the resources, power and wealth. It's that simple. It doesn't matter which political party it is.

The more consolidation of wealth equates to consolidation of power. The more they make, the more power they have.

Hillary and Trump are two sides of the same coin. They're owned by Corporate America.
