I would not trust Armstrong with my money.

However, he understands how criminals in power think—and that is why he often has key insights to offer.

People with virtue have a difficult time understanding the dark world of the plutocrats.

I don’t, and most people don’t. We understand how criminal they can be and that is why we have laws against their acts. They aren’t fooling anyone but the stupid and the gullible.

We just know not to follow them as some sort of positive role model.

I keep telling people that if they want to understand what's going on, make yourself a billionaire for a day, and think about it.

Those plutocrats don't need ANY of us - just a compliant staff for their personal Pleasure Planet.

And a relatively small staff, at that.
