In reply to the discussion: Warren: Americans ‘understand the game is rigged’ [View all]Peaceful Protester
(280 posts)32. (Edit)
I was thinking of the Republican agenda of deregulation that gave us Enron (2001) and a Global Recession (2008).
NOTE: Stock brokers and banks coordinated their efforts to use a business model built entirely on the premise they can make more money speculating on commodities contracts than they can by actually producing a product at fair market value. Central to their strategy of turning tangible assets into speculative commodities is removing government oversight of trading practices and exploiting market deficiencies to allow the manipulation of prices and supply.
But, if you prefer you may read it as: "honest work" and "fair equity"
Either way you slice it, hard work is hard work!
