Who is Diana Olick?! Does this mealy-mouthed dissembler REALLY think that the hoi polloi, including these brave protesters, believe this "really had nothing to do with the mortgage bankers"?!

"...kind of overpowered"?!? Did she get her journalism degree from Podunk U?

Here's disaster capitalism writ large, folks. The uber wealthy get wealthier and the poor get ever poorer. For those of you unfamiliar with disaster capitalism: Uncle Miltie warned that we'd have to endure 'a little pain' in order to reap the benefits of a 'free market' society. Read Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine to appreciate the "little pains" that disaster capitalism has inflicted on the hoi polloi around the world. Only the wealthy are reaping benefits from this ginormous ponzi scheme.

What this glib, narcissistic, persuasive little man actually unleashed on the world is radical income inequity. AND, the uber wealthy actually expect their filthy lucre to protect them from the inevitable upheaval when the hoi polloi are angry enough to rise up against them. Well, the wealth of an entire nation did not protect the French aristocracy...
