To quote the Simpsons, “Mmm, that’s good satire.”
Let’s be honest. EVERY group (ethnic, class, geographical, etc.) makes itself the center of the universe. The problem is casino capitalists now own the nation’s economy and wield immense power, so when they shift the planetary orbit around themselves, it has far greater impact.
And these profit creators are not necessarily job creators. In many cases they’re job exporters or job destroyers. It’s a lot easier to make money with money than with people, ideas and products/services. But I don’t blame them for doing what they do any more than I blame a scorpion for stinging like a scorpion.
I blame us for staring blankly at the ground, panicking about our tiny piece of the pie, and allowing them to do it.
