In my last piece,
I talked about how Tim Geithner's job over the past five years has been
to (a) print money, (b) give it to rich friends, and (c) deny everyone
else legal and financial rights. This shows up everywhere, from the 0%
you get on your savings account versus the insider information the rich
get, to your lack of access to the Fed discount window. It's a symptom
of bought government, which I try to expose on our show every day. (You
can help by signing our petition at GetMoneyOut.com. )
I find it laughable to hear President Obama's spokesperson talking about how his campaign
represents the 99%. For starters he'd have to fire Geithner, to prove
he's not the leader of a bought government. After all, it is Geithner
who took a system indirectly rigged to profit the 1% at the expense of
everyone else, and institutionalized and formalized it during a crisis.
The reaction to my piece was explosive -- I've rarely gotten so many
comments, thoughts, and questions on a single topic. So I think it's
worth addressing some of them.
