RE: Federal Government Shutdown

October 8, 2013 at 5:42 pm

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/19299-...ss-warfare

Quote:Charlie Munger, the vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, said in 2010 that we should "thank God" for the bank bailouts, but that ordinary people who had fallen on hard times should "suck it in and cope." And the CEO of AIG — the CEO of a bailed-out firm! — recently told The Wall Street Journal that complaints about bonuses to executives at such firms are just as bad as lynchings (I am not making this up).

The point is that the superrich have not gone John Galt on us — not really, even if they imagine they have. It's much closer to pure class warfare, a defense of the right of the privileged to keep and extend their privileges.

It's not Ayn Rand: this is Ancien Régime.

And we know how that ended......
