elites are elites for a reason


they are the people who will go lengths over having so called ethics,which is supposedly taught in the business school and do what is necessary to get their share. In my opinion, you either have ethics or you don't, you can't teach ethics to a person that does not see anything wrong in greed and power to become more rich.

So, all in all, if you can't beat them, the only solution is to join them and ruin them from the inside out. For example, legally steal their money by becoming their own personal investment adviser or even better, become a politician to raise taxes on the elite.

Flaming out after seeing this documentary and trying to find who is at fault is a witch hunt. After all, greed is part of human nature.

BTW, the first thing that came to my mind after watching this movie is to get a job in the financial sector, since nothing is going to change this status quo.

I have read quite a lot of posts on IMDB boards and other public feedback, it seems that everyone feels helpless and thinks nothing will change. In my mind, the have and the have nots will always be at war, but sometimes when the rich realizes that one day they could be poor and be at our mercy, they will act differently.

So, if you think my post is immoral, then please go back to opposing the Iraq war, while arguing that the oil prices are too high.

You're pandering to greed. I think the status quo can change, but that there has to be a strong response from civil society.

Only way the status quo can change is to establish a real middle class, which will never happen and strong response? rallys at world conventions or occupy a city? I don't see any-other strong response happening. LOL. like I said either join them or keeping crying out.

The solution is simple. Bring back the guillotine.

How stupid. Becoming a politician to do that? That will never work! There has got to be a better way! 

But outside of external pressures, I just do not see it. I only wish other countries could tear down our embassies and send everyone inside packing, at least until things change. (The UN is also a major problem.)

And 'witch hunt'? Could you be any more laughable?
