"Hedge Fund Managers Win Lottery!"
Three hedge fund managers from Greenwich Conn. won $254 million in the Powerball.
I guess it's not enough that big business has wrecked the ecomomy of the entire world, except for that of the wealthest 1% - they seem to be doing very well, now they have found a way to game the Lotto. The only thing the 99% thought they had left.
It goes something like this. Big corporations made bad gambles (investments). Now, instead of taking it on the chin like you or I have to, they want the poorer 99% to pay their debts for them. We saw this a few years ago when insurance companies lost a lot of money in the stock market and raised the insurance rates of their customers. The rates are still going up due to them wanting us to foot the bill.
First they decimated the private worker middle class by sending most of their jobs to China, India etc.
Now their going after the public (government) worker middle class. Government workers did traditionally make less money then their private industry counterparts. Now they make more due to the wholesale destruction of the private middle class.
Republican politicians seem to think there isn't any problem that can't be solved by giving the Super-Wealthy 1% more money. Particularly if it comes form the tax coffers of the poor and rapidly disappearing middle class. This while corporations are sitting on very large piles of money. Of course the Republican politicians think that way. These are the people that support their campaigns. The Democrat politicians are almost as crooked. They just pretend to be for the common man/woman when they really want the same things as the Republicans. Thus the rope-a-dope, good cop - bad cop they play on the American people. Thus Obama promises all these great jobs and works projects when he knows he will never have to deliver on them because he and John-boy Boehner already have this political WWF match rigged and how they will play it in front of the public. Obama will propose it. Boehner and his boys will kill it. And Obama will point and say "see, I tried to get you all this good stuff, but these bad ol' Republicans won't let me do it."
60 Minutes recently reported of the corporate stocks politicians are bribed with. Someone else reported the something very similar some years earlier. Now let me see, who was that? Oh, yes! It was me. Do I get any credit? NO!
I suspect someone will steal my theory on Post 293 A: My Theory of Universal Expansion, posted on 01:33:45 11/17/11 Thu., and pass it off as their own. I've gotten used to having my stuff stolen. Anyone can use my work with my permission if they give me credit for my work. Give me my byline, site my work and name.
But, the most emotionally hurtful cut of all was the gaming of the Lotto. It was all we, the common folk, had left. Do you remember the scene from 'How the Grinch stole Christmas' where the Grinch steals the last speck of food too small for a mouse? That speck of food too small for a mouse was the Lotto. That was ours! The scum of the earth couldn't even leave that alone. The whole thing stinks. Almost nobody, but the extremely gullible, belives the public is being served by the politicians, the corporations, Banks, or seeming anything else including religion.
