"The Only Way The Rich Get Richer Is If The Rest Of Us Get Poorer"

Far too many people have already used lines like “We Are All Greeks Now” for the words to hold on to much if any meaning by now. But it’s still a very accurate description of what awaits us all. Just not for the same reasons most who used it, did.

No, I don’t really want to talk about Greece again. I want to talk about where you live. And about how similar the two will be not too long from now. How Greece is holding up a lesson and a big red flashing warning sign for all of us.

Greece is the mold upon which all of our futures will be based. Quite literally. Greece is a test tube baby rat.

How much money is in the world? Had that amount always been there? So there is more money in the world now then was there say in 1900. Where did that extra money come from? Did the rich get richer? Yup. Did the poor get richer? Yup. Yes it is true that some rich get richer upon the backs of the poor and that would be the politicians who do not really contribute to society. But the real rich who do contribute to society lift the poor with them because without the poor they themselves could not get richer. So be careful when a politician wants to tell you that the rich are taking from the poor.

You win the internet today with the most indefensible and without merit argument defending the rich.
"Where did that extra money come from?" was a real treat.
