(5 posts)Not really surprised to hear this. It's startling to see that so many people think the rich and powerful who rule this country would undermine their own power. That's like expecting the corporations and banks - who heavily invest in candidates and politicians to work for them as we should know by now - to to be less greedy and corrupt and to give up their power. Why would you expect any change if you have "politicians" in charge of preventing future financial crisis who themselves caused the crisis or were appointed by the same people who were complicit in the crisis?
It's shocking to see how much the wealthy and powerful are out of touch with reality. I think people from Mars would be more able to relate to - and to understand - the general population than our politicians do.
