It's always easier to play the game when you're using other people's money.


Collusion, commingling, and then conversion are a fine art to master without getting caught.


It's all about using shadows, curtains, and sleight of hand tricks to create the illusion that you have actually earned and not stole the money that you have accumulated by using the tax code as a guide and then you get to keep it.

Of course you wouldn't mind that. It's your go to. Everything needs to be brought to my level so I can get ahead. You do understand your 160,000 investments would lose value right? And 160k cash wouldntvdo much good to buy a house when your 60k a year job may disappear. So if the economy crashes you wouldn't rise above it but actually fall with it.

The majority of people should have as little as possible to do with any bank at all. Financial services of all sorts are widely available through less rapacious sources.

In his twisted little world none of that would happen plus the world would time travel back to 1950.
He's not the brightest lad

How do we deal with a financial crises generated by greed and fraud? I don't know. Lets ask Trump and his Goldman Sachs 1% cabinet. Oh wait they're too busy using the white house and our tax payer dollars as their personal play ground. Meantime back at the banks? Buyer beware if Trump has his way.

they were broken off to a separate agency and most of the perks and benefits my dad had were gone . but there are lots of things that were gov't jobs that are now farmed out and privatized. usps closed so many post offices putting so many out of work. it still wants to cut a few hundred thousand workers . in my dad's day you really had to do something bad to lose your job .

They were not in any way privatized. At best, you misspoke. Other examples of independent federal agencies are the CIA and NASA. They have never been privatized either.,
