6. great article
"roughly one-quarter of the names on the Forbes list of the 400 richest Americans got there by inheritance"

"The craze for financial deregulation in Washington was fomented in part by Wall Street plutocrats brandishing lavish political donations, gifts, offers of employment and other trappings of economic power. Would Wall Street have gotten so far out of control if it had had less power to wield?"

Yet we're told with hard work everyone can be independently wealthy..think that has been proven false now. It is about power and keeping the flow of profits going up. They do this with the help of the GOP. Selling paper products does not make an economy..it destroys it as we're seeing now. But it keeps everyone reaching for the magic ring that really isn't there.
