This started off sounding like it was going to be a Repub/TeaParty/Koch-style political propaganda piece, but the further I went into it the more pleasantly surprised I became. Makes some good points about the distinction between different groups and tiers at the top of the American income ladders. It's true that the concerns and goals and challenges of upper income "working class" folks like small business entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers are different than the folks from Real Money and the big financial firms, banks, executives of huge multi-nationals, etc. I also have become increasingly confident in the theory that the so-called credit crisis a few years ago was basically a setup or con job. There's a lot of evidence, at least at the level of circumstance and motive and means, aligned with it being true.


To those curious about this claim, I would recommend Nomi Prin's "It takes a Pillage". She, a former manager at Goldman Sachs, makes a strong argument for the bailouts being criminal.
