1. Isn't that the same
Prince that is the biggest shareholder of Citigroup????

Hell, pretty soon we'll start selling off states! Let's sell Oklahoma only because of their recent anti-choice legislation. Wonder how much we could get!

Greece has been told to sell off its islands so not to default.

The world is crazy.

3. America, through it's
wall street owned politicians, has sold our rights to the highest bidder. We used to have laws against foreign owned intervention in our country. Do we still have laws that are not being enforced that would keep "foreign investors" from owning our vital infrastructure? Mitch Daniels (R) governor of Indiana "leased" our toll roads to a foreign owned company for 75 years. We need to enforce the laws or create them, to not allow foreign control of our country. Fox is the major propaganda source for Americans. 19 of the 21 "terrorists" of 9-11 came from Saudi Arabia.
I state it continuously, no-one seems to agree or care, that the world is owned and operated by a very small percentage of the wealthiest people in the world. We need to unite with all of the other repressed citizens of the world and enforce our rights as human beings. They have been acknowledged as early as the "Magna Carta" and probably even prior to this document. Citizens of the world, we have a powerful unifying tool called the internet, that so far, is still open to free speech. Even this will change soon if we keep allowing our inherent humanity to be possessed by the elitists who run our world. I do not have the answers, I do have a lot of questions. I do know that we out number them by millions to one. How can we unite and end the new Feudalism? Let's brainstorm.

5. bottom 80% americans only hold 7% of the nations Wealth.. Socialism looks pretty good.>link>
http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/wealth.html

In the United States, wealth is highly concentrated in a relatively few hands. As of 2007, the top 1% of households (the upper class) owned 34.6% of all privately held wealth, and the next 19% (the managerial, professional, and small business stratum) had 50.5%, which means that just 20% of the people owned a remarkable 85%, leaving only 15% of the wealth for the bottom 80% (wage and salary workers). In terms of financial wealth (total net worth minus the value of one's home), the top 1% of households had an even greater share: 42.7%. Table 1 and Figure 1 present further details drawn from the careful work of economist Edward N. Wolff at New York University (2010).

4. The class war is international.
Edited on Sat May-08-10 02:12 PM by Capitalocracy
The ruling class is international today. We're going to see a shift in the world economy where instead of having "rich countries" and "poor countries", you'll have rich people and poor people all over the world.

8. Why surprised, Cenk? Never paid attention?
Never noticed Cheney's multiple trips to Saudi Arabia, including this month?

Never noticed Saudi Arabia's involvement in 9/11?

Never noticed Senator Bob Graham's references to the Saudi government SPONSORING 9/11?

Cenk's fear of straying from D.C. conventional wisdom never ceases, does it.
