Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views: the Obama Administration
The problem here with the banks (and the wealthy class of which they are entertwined) is the theory that Henry Ford put forth when he opened his assembly plants and paid, for the times, very good wages... Henry said, "If I don't pay my people well then they won't have enough money to buy my cars"...

That seems to make alot of sense...

But what we have now is 5% controlling 80% of the wealth and they are hoarding it???

This is a formula fir disaster for everyone... History is littered with such situations and the rich always end up paying for their wealth... It won't be any different this time either... What Obama is beginning to do is paint the picture and the scarey thing for the rich is that he has another 3 years to use his bully pulpit and that he is saying stuff that the tea-baggers can relate to...

If I were part of the 5% I think I'd be gettin' the boys together and figure out how share peacefully...

But rich people aren't any smarter than anyone else... Most are rich because they picked the right families to to be born into...

Outta be interesting now that Obama has been roughed up a little and ready to fight...
