Mad Magazine
Sometimes all you can do is laugh at absurdity..
"In a real capitalist society, when companies fail, they go out of business. But in the U.S. some companies are designated as "too big to fail" and get special treatment. These behemoth institutions are actually allowed to steal money, screw investors, post record losses and still pay out millions of dollars in bonuses to the greedy, incompetent, reckless, white collar, criminal executive scumbags who run them. President Obama was so upset about this that he gave a disapproving speech to Congress before signing off on a multi-billion dollar government bail-out plan. Ain't that America! "~ Corporate Bailouts, Keeping Bad Companies (Mad Magazine, Jan 2010 Issue)
The rich who control our world banks have more power than the President of the United States. Mad Magazine may be satire, but what they write it is the sad truth.
President Obama states he is upset, yet he must sign multi-trillion dollar bailout plans... bailouts that reward the rich and crush the poor and middle class, the very people who work, pay taxes, save, and invest for their retirement and college education in the stock market.
The rules of money are written for the rich - at the expense of everyone else.
Unfortunately, that is the real America and that is why so many Americans are angry... but not yet mad.
While a weak currency promotes jobs, it also screws the country's worker. Printing of more money will ultimately increase the taxes, cause inflation for things like groceries, and at the same time rob savers by devaluing their reserves. And as the government robs the poor and middle class, it rewards the rich.
Today, the stock market climbs steadily because the bond market is paying less than zero. As money flows into the world's stock markets, the rich who control the stock markets get richer. As the stock market climbs, the rich are slowly withdrawing their funds, making profits as your retirement and college savings plans prop up the market.
