Yes, greed and accumulation of wealth are the culprits here. That's why I'm grinding and sharpening the guillotine here. I mean, Luld took away 483 million dollars in seven years. My god, we could give every person in this country (300 million) a dollar of this salary given to ONE individual. And he's small fish compared to Warren Buffet and their ilk with their multi-Billion dollar assets. The less-than-three week CEO of another lending corporation took away 19 million just for 'being there'. Hurrah! Do I get 19 million for 'being there' for that short a time? No. Unfair so far to the extreme it is ludicrous.
Who are we kidding here? The ultra-elite rich exist and they run the show - the entire show of the entire planet. While billions squaller they have dozens of estates, an airport of private airplanes, security to rival a national army, and power to sink any nation (see, even the USA in the past months). Time to wrest such accumulation and power from the hands of the very few and put it into the hands of the many (and not in a socialist or communistic way, by the way). Forced economic equality is bad, but extreme economic inequality is just as bad - and the latter has precedence from all of history. Any time the few aristrocratic (see France or England or Russia or Rome or any other similar system) have all of the wealth, the majority populous suffers. Remember that while the aristrocracy in France dined on the finest of every beverage and food and service and product and lavished in the penultimate luxury, the rest of populace was forced to eat stale bread and grass and live in muck. How close are we to this? I don't think we're far from it if the current situation continues.
Pierre, it is time to reclaim our rights to happiness, equality, and liberty. It may take much blood to do so, unfortunately.
