Peter Schiff put out a video this morning in response to the video I did on him. This is my final response to the schiffreport and his negative views directed towards the unemployed who collect unemployment benefits.

1. The whole thing he is saying is that these ass holes make money
in something that is relatively easy to do, given the chance...

But when they start believing they are smart because they follow trends, that they can pontificate and judge others because of their "smarts", that's when this fellow, and I, start calling them out...

Simple as that.

Most of the self made business people that I know got lucky and so they think they are genius. Some have sparks of smarts, but most were in the right place at the right time. Believing someone has the answers, that they are all knowing because they were successful in one area, is just foolish. Especially in out casino speculative economy.

2. This video is excellent.
This young man is right about Peter Schiff. Schiff is a trend-follower, not a leader.

People like Schiff profit from pushing misery on the poor and unemployed. In a health society, gains and losses are more broadly shared.

Restructuring is important. We need to change. But Schiff's viewpoint shifts the entire burden of restructuring and change onto those least able to benefit from it, and least able to survive it. From a spiritual, human point of view, Schiff is a soulless monster.

Thanks for posting this video. Some of the videos by the unemployed have not shown just how intelligent and highly qualified many of them really are.

Hey! Schiff, you could be homeless tomorrow. Don't laugh. You never know. Life is full of surprises. Have a little compassion, a little understanding. Use your analytical ability for something more important than fattening your bank account. Monopoly is a game, not life itself.
