When wealth disappears

I saw this op-ed piece in The New York Times today. It's another puff piece from the people who stole our future and who now are providing cover stories for why we should not think it was all their fault:

Make no mistake: OUR wealth did not disappear; they STOLE it. Economists, professors, and politicians are paid by the RICH, not by the POOR. Of course they're going to advocate policies that benefit their bosses.Why expect otherwise?

As Buckminster Fuller said:

Great nations are simply the operating fronts of behind-the-scenes, vastly ambitious individuals who had become so effectively powerful because of their ability to remain invisible while operating behind the national scenery.

Those same ambitious individuals now want to shed their remaining fiscal obligations (a.k.a. the social safety net we were promised and which WE PAID FOR with our taxes, blood, sweat, and tears) and to give us a "market state" economy instead.

I think that before we do that, all the money in existence should be evenly split up and shared with everyone ... and THEN let the so-called "equal opportunity for all" culture begin.

If ANYONE can borrow from the Federal Reserve at 0%, then EVERYONE should be able to do so. Billionaires are no more credit worthy than paupers. Was Bernie Madoff ultimately more credit worthy than the poor folks who lost their homes in the housing bubble?
