Stocks and Precious Metals Charts – The Men Who Stole the World

“The problem of the last three decades is not the ‘vicissitudes of the marketplace,’ but rather deliberate actions by the government to redistribute income from the rest of us to the one percent. This pattern of government action shows up in all areas of government policy.”
Dean Baker
“When the modern corporation acquires power over markets, power in the community, power over the state and power over belief, it is a political instrument, different in degree but not in kind from the state itself. To hold otherwise — to deny the political character of the modern corporation — is not merely to avoid the reality.
It is to disguise the reality. The victims of that disguise are those we instruct in error.”
John Kenneth Galbraith
And unfortunately the working class victims of that disguise are going to be receiving the consequences of their folly, and then some.
Secure in their monopolies and key positions with regard to reform and the law, the corporations are further acquiring access to the protections of the rights of individuals as well, it appears, at least according to Citizens United.
Maybe our leaders and their self-proclaimed technocrats will finally do the right thing. I personally doubt it, except that it will be in error. More likely, the right thing will eventually be one the old-fashioned way— under the duress of a crisis and the protests of the much neglected and long suffering.
History will look back at us with the same wonder that we look back on the mad excesses of certain nations founded in devotion to extreme, almost other-worldly, ideologies of the last century.
