400 Americans are now worth the same as 155,000,000 Americans, combined.

    What can we do about this? And they're dismantling social security?

    Ditto with Brian. It's so awful! I feel so helpless to do anything about this.

    Grandmother - I think we need to look behind the curtain in this country. We've been taken down the yellow brick road.

    That's disgusting.

    We let them get away with this. We do not force our politicians to reign this behaviour in. We haven't demanded the perps of the financial debacle be punished. Bernie Madoff was a "token". He is representative of so many more who go unpunished.

    Ponzi schemes and high risk junk bonds; it's all the same to me.

    the sad thing is that working class and middle class (what's left of it) people are voting in the people who enable this to happen.

    I agree with Brian and DJan. It is such a helpless, horrible feeling.
