Privatize Profits, Socialize Losses
And you think it's an accident, some "natural order of things? That's what the super wealthy want us to think. And profit-driven establishment, celebrity media to plays along, because it's a good deal for them. Ain't it grand? I'm gonna be like that some day, so we better not tax them.... that would be spreading the wealth.... in the wrong direction.

Democracy and Capitalism
The House of the Rising Sons blog voices an important concept:Democracy is not an outgrowth of free markets. Democracy and capitalism are antagonistic entities.More on this is said and is worth reading. The same post also quotes a successful hedge fund manager who, not trusting banks anymore, has suspended operations. He has critical words for the financial elite and governing class. For example:
The establishment is out of control. It is a historic moment in which informed people need to step up and recognize the other thing stated in that blog entry:
legislation was repeatedly brought forth to Congress over the past eight years, which would have [reined] in the predatory lending practices of now mostly defunct institutions. These institutions regularly filled the coffers of both parties in return for voting down all of this legislation designed to protect the common citizen. This is an outrage, yet no one seems to know or care about it.
Democracy, like individualism, is not based on personal gain but on self-sacrifice.
