Income inequality is Hi-Larious!

[kpete]

That's the funniest thing!

Three of the world's richest and most powerful people (and Timothy Geithner) had a good laugh over income inequality earlier this year.

Former Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin, Henry Paulson and Geithner were asked about the issue by Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg during a conference in Beverly Hills. When Paulson responded that he'd been working on income inequality since his days at Goldman Sachs, Geithner quipped, "In which direction?"

"You were increasing it!" cracked Rubin, as everyone on stage roared with laughter.

8. While they have their puppets in both parties and the media distract the rabble

by getting them fighting over abortion, "illegals", and teh gay, they further consolidate their power and steal us blind

16. The Geithner and Clinton appointments

before he was even sworn in, were conclusive proof that the left of the party had been chumped, had, snookered, conned, hoaxed and pantsed in the middle of the schoolyard by Barack Obama. Just like we were by Bill Clinton.

No More Turd Way, Ever.

17. Yep-turd weighers they be.

[nxylas]

10. Unusual to see them openly admit it

I guess they realise nobody's buying the "trickle down" bullshit any more.

11. I tried to find the video of that particular exchange but couldn't find it, interestingly

I did find this video and Paulson's response to a question as to the number 1 issue of the 2016 election at about the 1:24 mark.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.

[Duppers]

19. Interesting!

Thanks, Uncle Joe.

12. Har har. ''Wealth Management.''

Doing the work of the overlords, UBS proves it's buy-partisanship, loving both Phil Gramm and Bill Clinton.

Since the repeal of Glass-Steagal, they've specialized in all kinds of Wealth Management:

20. You know the old saying "close only counts with hand grenades"
