Maintaining Inequality
A lot of effort and expense goes into maintaining inequality in the world. Heaven knows it's not easy keeping the aristocracy in ermine while the rest of us live in cardboard boxes.
Yet, Congress is still doing it's best to take the food off our plates and the clothes off our backs. Pelosi, Obama and the rest of them are busy making sure no profiteer is prosecuted, no con left behind.
Meanwhile, in the international arena, the World Bank and other UN agencies are stacking the deck on carbon market trading to make certain the transnational corporations that already robbed us once get another shot at us. From the looks of it, the IMF massacres of the 1990s were just a warm-up exercise.
