I read somewhere that in the 1950s the highest paid workers were doctors and 707 pilots; in other words, our society put a high value on keeping people healthy and safely moving people for commerce. Nowadays the highest paid people are those provide no value to society: Wall Street. Wall Street was designed to efficiently allocate our savings capital into the best probability businesses that would further grow the economy. Now Wall Street gambles our capital, privatizing the winnings and socializing the losses. Income inequality is 100% created and driven by Wall Street. We push our best and brightest there, pay them extraordinary piles of cash to piss away our savings, and then celebrate them for producing nothing. If we want to fix income inequality we have to completely re-tool Wall Street. What a dissappoint Obama has been on financial reform and what an opportunity he squandered because he was too frightened to be bold. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:334841 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
