Funny how dead things like stock market certificates can increase in value over night by 5, 10, 15 percent . Do LIVING wages increase by this much even in a decade ? There is indeed a VAMPIRE in the system . As Malcolm X said way back in 1965 : " Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a blood sucker ".
George Orwell thought : " socialism should be obvious " . And why is not capitalist exploitation just as " obvious " to Harvard educated economists ? Anyone not hopelessly lazy and incompetent can get rich in the stock market ? Just like anybody with a buck can become a state lottery millionaire - EQUAL OPPORTUNITY here !
I do have a close friend who made 90,000 dollars in a few hours ( Stock Market gambling ) in 2001-just before the attack on the World Trade Center in NYC . A few years ago he was living in a broken down Lincoln Town Car. He has since " recovered " from abject misery - but can barely pay the rent.
