The economic elite have launched an attack on the U.S. public and society is unraveling at an increased rate. You may have missed it in the mainstream news media, but statistical societal indicators are reading red across the board. Let’s look at the top 15 statistics that prove we are under attack.
1) The inequality of wealth in the United States is soaring to an unprecedented level. The U.S. already had the highest inequality of wealth in the industrialized world prior to the financial crisis. Since the crisis, which has hit the middle class and poor much harder than the top 1 percent, the gap between the top 1 percent and the remaining 99 percent of the U.S. population has grown to a record high.
2) As the stock market went over the 10,000 mark and just surged to a 13-month high, the three big banks that took taxpayer money and benefited the most from the government bailout have just set a new global economic record by issuing $30 billion in annual bonuses this year, “up 60 percent from last year.” Bloomberg reported: “Goldman Sachs, the most profitable securities firm in Wall Street history, had a record profit in the first nine months of this year and set aside $16.7 billion for compensation expenses.” Goldman Sachs is on pace for the best year in the firm’s history, and it is also benefiting by only paying 1 percent in taxes.
3) The profits of the economic elite are “now underwritten by taxpayers with $23.7 trillion worth of national wealth."
As the looting is occurring at the top, the U.S. middle class is just beginning to collapse.
THE REST HERE
What is going to happen next???

As Gerald Celente has voiced many times."Wall street has taken over Washington"The article reaffirms the disturbing truth of that statement.We have a corrupt political body led by a puppet of the ruling elite.This is not going to end very nicely.I see violence and anarchy down the road.The sheeple will eventually awaken to revolt by then it will be too late.
ReplyDeletecorrect
ReplyDeleteAnd the number one sign America has no hope and will fall apart: Movies like Transformers 2 are being made for 1,000 trillion dollars and Transformers 3 is already on the way. The mass production of ready-made mindlessness for zombie culture goes on heedlessly while the nation goes broke. It is silliness at every level, not "just the elites making us that way for us".
ReplyDeleteThat should be, "Everyone is 'ENCOURAGED' to participate with comments." Common, just add the letter "d" and get out of the typo world.

ReplyDeleteActually the missing 'd' is intentionally omitted to save for d-day, the imminent derivative-day when all hells break loose.
Economic Analyst will agree with me ;D
