Power corrupts

The Daily Reckoning
by Bill Bonner

12/20/11

The genius of modern democracy is that it makes the citizen a party to his own enslavement. Rather than give up 10% of his output to his feudal lord and master, he gives up 30% to 50% to his democratically-elected bosses. They tell him what to do. And he believes he is giving the orders! And then, he believes he has discovered the best form of government in the world. It is so good he can t wait to force others to be democrats too!

That $335 Million Bank of America Settlement: The Good, the Bad and the Very Ugly

Richard (R.J.) Eskow, Campaign for America's Future: 'The Obama Administration announced a $335 million settlement deal with Bank of America to settle charges of discriminatory lending practices ... The proposed agreement seems designed to do only the bare minimum its framers hoped would be needed to quell public outrage. While it will be sold as bold and decisive, it s not. In fact, this deal perpetuates some of the worst failings of past settlements the government s made with big banks.'
