Weird Science will always produce unintended results
by Duane on October 3rd, 2011 at 6:50 amPosted In: Commentary
Those who are taking part of the Occupy Wall Street protests need to get a clue on history. Frustration mixed with activism will produce exactly what you seek…and nothing more. Just look at the birth of Communism in countries like Russia and China and why they are slowly moving away from it.

“It’s funny yet sad to see how the same folks who were beating the nation over the head with the S&P threat of downgrading the US are now questioning it’s validity. Keep switching up those narratives. Nobody notices–I promise.”

The following excerpts are from propublica.org~
The near collapse of the financial system and the massive government bailout [1] were just bumps in the road for Wall Street, it turns out, and notwithstanding public ire, the big banks are on pace this year to pay their employees at pre-crisis levels, The Washington Post reports [2].

“We have one person running the show here. He (the President) keeps saying we want small, fuel-efficient cars. But this week when the car numbers came out: Number 1. Ford F-150. Number 2. the Silverado. I didn’t even see the Prius on the list. But he knows what WE want.”

I mentioned a few days ago a comment made by the Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Beranke. In short, he told a group of Morehouse college students that a major contributor to the wealth gap between Blacks and Whites is our lack of financial literacy. Why am I [...]

People who work in the finance industry have given at least $4.8 million to underwrite Barack Obama’s inauguration party, more than any other business sector, according to an [...]
