Extortion

-
It is beginning to feel more and more like the greedy traders who control the stock markets are holding the American people and the Federal government hostage. I think this is a clear cut case of extortion.

Let us continue to operate with absolutely zero control, regulation, or oversight and GIVE US hundreds of billions of dollars of corporate welfare, or we are going to drive the price of oil way up, the value of the dollar way down, and we will keep the markets on their roller coaster ride until you cry Uncle.

It is going to take leaders with real strength and integrity to take on these powerful robber barons. There is no certainty at all that America is going to make it out of this one still being one of the most prosperous countries on the planet.

What is responsible for this decline in America? The discredited policies of Reagan and Bush, deregulation, sending most of the country’s manufacturing base overseas, tax cuts for the wealthy, and trickle down economics.
