Exactly! Until the Emperor's clothes are shown for what they are AND people stop the nonsense, the gap between rich and poor will only widen. It is time for folks to start using CASH and stop with all the mindless buy, buy, buy with plastic!

Well, you know my solution. The 'rules' are stacked against the working
class, so I don't play by them. I withdrew from the system; my money is
invested in my land and in tools; I rarely buy anything new, buy locally
when I can to support my neighbors.

The bankers and CEOs got rich because people gave them money to invest.
Those investments may have been lost, but the high salaries and bonuses are
still coming. I'm happy to say that it isn't my money that bought their
private planes or boats. It comes down to choices...support what you like,
don't support what you don't like. I don't like the way Walmart forces out
local businesses then raises prices, so I don't do business with Walmart,
either. If you give your money to the Wall Street mavens, you can hardly
complain that they are filthy rich and you aren't....converting your money
into their money is what they do best.

By the way, the 'economic crisis' hasn't affected my life yet. Not even a
little. I'm still waiting. My income and expenses are the same as a year
ago, or four years ago, and aren't likely to change much in the next year or
two.
