The monied class are looters for sure, a great analogy. First they break the economy by any means necessary to create an opportunity of a lifetime. They will then suck up public assets and plunging stocks at fire sale prices, privatize whatever public programs they can under the false notion of “saving” such programs and screw all of us for generations to come. Naomi Klein outlined all of this in her brilliant book The Shock Doctrine. Will the American people stand for it? I guess we’ll find out.
