Dear John, Since I wrote you last I’ve been brainstorming on ways you can increase your personal bottom line. I’ve been sharing some of my great ideas with your pal Brian over at Bank Of America and since I’m so appreciative for the bump in my status, I’d like to bring you into the loop. We have two people living with us now who would otherwise be homeless. We’re not very good on the business end so they don’t pay rent. Here’s the meat. Dividing our income into yours and X2 for two people you could help keep 371,500 people off the street. Even if you only charged 1 cent per month, I think you can see the possibilities. Even if they all moved out there would always be a new crop. I’d retain 99% of the profit since it was my idea, but I think you’re clear on how that works. It’s all about diversification. Denise

Diane Rambo: I used to be a stockbroker. My principal taught me to work hard and be honest and the clients would trust me. He built a very respectable independent business before he retired. It is possible to be successful without being greedy and causing innocent people to go without homes while the 1% laugh and buy $8000 shower curtains.

Carlton Ferguson the culture you have created you will live in . I had a personal experience with someone like you and they had the same attitude suddenly without warning the monster he helped create and feed ate him and now he is one of us and suddenly understands.Being unemployed and on the brink of poverty makes for a new perspective, hope to be here to welcome you when it’s your turn.

My son and his wife gave me my first grandchild almost three years ago - just in time to be sent out to drown in the tsunami of greed and thievery that destroyed the entire global economy. My son’s middle-management three-year job in retail was annihilated, along with the 99%ers’ “disposable” income to pay for anything beyond housing, food, transportation and outstanding credit loans - IF we’re lucky. My son is not so lucky, because my grandson has autism, his mother stays with him full-time. There is no income-earner in a family with an autistic child. Let that sink in. Not that you care, but you can’t blame me for trying. So, after almost a year of searching, my son’s given up on finding a legitimate job, though he still goes through the motions and lets his hopes grow, then get dashed again. He has ended his battle with razor-bumps, and grown a full beard. He looks awful, just like a Sasquatch, but it completely reflects his disillusion, at 32, with the entire system of multinational corporate welfare capitalism. Congratulations, sincerely, on destroying whatever faith we had in the American Dream and in the Masters of the U.S. Economy. I would not invest one dime in a 401k to be sucked into Wall Street profits even if my employer matched it 4-1, ever again, as you destroyed my savings with your gambling. Our family will never, ever trust you people with our retirement again. Naturally, I tweet and FB that sentiment, daily, and will do so until my son finds a reason to shave again. How I miss his handsome face! Hmmm, I just got an idea! Maybe I should stop stripping off my post-menopausal moustache and goatee until he shaves! I’m sure I can grow all that hair before you addicted-to-greed people let Americans work again, after WE paid for all your gambling losses. Woot woot! Here comes the Bearded Raging Granny! Keep America Beautiful!
