Short-sighted idiots.

Editor,

A model in which 95% of economic gains go into the pockets of 1% of the population and 80% of a nation's wealth is controlled by 20% is not sustainable.

An article predicting the collapse of the stock market is making the rounds of "conservative" circles these days:

the take-away from which, if you notice what is conspicuously absent from the argument it makes, is that corporate America is laboring under a theoretical framework so thoroughly ignorant of Keynes that they are oblivious to how robust an economy would be enjoyed by all if the greedy fools at the top of the financial food chain were emotionally and intellectually capable of sharing rather than hoarding as much as they possibly can for themselves.

"What goes around comes around."

Monopolists are short-sighted idiots.
