Little distinction between banksters & politicians

4. hear hear,. great points!

"it's the people with the money, that need to go down!" clearly as the average folk lost wealth, those that gained it where STEALING! Sure it is all right and legal,. but theft all the same. They MUST go down for it, or as Russell said, they will simply do it again!

7. Ferdinand Marcos earned his $6 billion

by astutely investing his $6,000/year salary.

If other people would just be as diligent about investing,
there wouldn't be massive poverty in the Philippines
and other countries where creative investment is penalized.

As Kenneth Lay of Enron said "Little people are just jealous of the wealth created by hard working, creative people like myself, Jeffrey Skilling, and Andrew Fastow. If we had a little more time, we could have gotten Congress to change the laws that we are accused of breaking, and I would have been able to buy that small Caribbean island I've had my eye on."

9. Truly amazing,.

If you can make the laws, there is no need to break them.

5. Well, that was a bit different treatment than he got on Morning Joe...

8. I admire Russell Brand

I used to think he was a frickin' hyper wanker. My feelings have changed as of late.
Use a VPN and you can watch this show and other BBC shows in their entirety!
