anecdotal evidence of this country's problems have been evident to the mere peasants for some time:..people buying huge homes and cars and boats and never thinking twice of it, and you sit there and wonder how they could afford all that when the truth was , they couldn't afford all that....

Ceo's getting multimillions in bonuses and golden parachutes....

public employees retiring on more money than they ever earned while "working"...

Payrod getting 1/4 of a billion dollars in his contract?

these things make you go "hummmmm" in the middle of the night.....

but having said all that, there is a big part of me that says this whole thing was orchestrated to line the pockets of the elite rich by ripping the rest of us off.....

I don’t disagree... but I think it was about more than money.
