Thanks, Mr Buffet.
Let me first define “We”. It means one or all of the three: the middle class, the electorate that matters, the suckers. Political pundits tell us we vote our pocket books. How long will we have a pocket of our own? Read on…
Wall street and main street will have parity, when the pig of CAPITALISM learns to fly!
What’s Good for G.M. Is Good For Homeowners
Candidate Obama spoke of this parity on the election trail. But, as President, his so called ‘wunderkinds’, Summers and Gaithner, did not deliver. I have advocated “throw the bums out” for a long time. Unfortunately, this time at the midterm elections, the electorate threw out part of the baby along with the proverbial bath water when they gave the House to the Republicans. Does not matter; I rejoice that finally the voters are beginning to “throw” out things. With practice, they will learn to keep the babies. In the mean time, babies will have a rough time. Sorry, babes!

To put things in perspective about the elitist ruling class, the following quote from Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States” (page 79, paper back edition) is quite illuminative:“ Ruling elites seem to have learned through the generations – consciously or not – that war makes them more secure against internal trouble.”
