jerryzflies 0 #2 June 11, 2009 QuoteA truly excellent article from Commentary Magazine. Clicky. It's long but worth the read. Just wanted to share. The flaw in the argument is that it equates amassing wealth with creation of wealth. 150 years ago that might have been generally true, but today we see the manipulation of wealth (without actually creating any wealth) as a primary means of getting wealthy. The shennagigans of the investment banks that led to the current economic mess are a good indication of this.If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.
