"I understand, for instance, how to read a balance sheet." I suggest that Mi$$ Rmoney will win [View all]
whether he becomes the chosen one or not, simply because of this. (He has no concrete positions or moral center apparently, but he has a $230 million head start - losing the race wouldn't touch that). Just like all the other tentacled bastards that have structured our economy so they can extract the wealth YOU create by your labor while they add nothing, they don't have to be in office to move it to their pockets, and they can buy or disrupt action by anyone who tries to stop them.
People who want to beat him and his ilk would better invest their time in learning how to read a balance sheet and the accounting/finance/economics that goes with it (this could be done by 8th or 9th graders, btw), online at little cost, developing an interest group, and then forming a cooperative plan to own assets that provide what you need, in a way that makes it difficult for the wealthy to touch. Such as a cooperative.
Because the greedy are more afraid of assets they can't control or profit from than people who run around in parks with signs, beating the police on the flashlight with their heads.
