I LOVE Matt Taibbi. I just bought his book "The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap" and I have a hard copy of "Griftopia." If anyone knows how Wall Street has utterly fleeced America
he does and how hypocritical it is to make the poor pay for trivial matters by legions of police descending on their neighborhoods while the rich
on the upper east side rarely see a cop on the beat. The rich who put us and the world in a whole heap of dung get off scott free--no one was jailed for the Wall Street perpetrated Great Recession.
There oughta be a law. Oh there is? As the great Gilda Radner would
say "Never mind."
Matt is a brilliant writer and one of the most
articulate journalists on the scene today. I could not have written
this piece better myself .
I post it here or below for your reading pleasure.
