Don't look, "critics", but, YOUR KIDZ ARE JUST LIKE YOU. Stop blaming others for YOUR FAILURES at raising your own narcissistic,<br />instant-gratification-seeking, headphone-wearing, obtuse, shallow children. <br /><br />But the punishment is built-in, isn't it? You will still be supporting them in 20 years!! <br /><br />No teacher can "fix" what you have already ruined! <br /><br />But thank God for the great number of fine young people still in school today. You know, those "other" kids. The ones whose parents make no excuses. The ones who knew how to actually RAISE their children.<br />..................................<br /><br />My moniker:<br />ProfitChartersDoomChildrenniktohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219069038917729013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359348507190689090.post-8126859872659392112010-02-21T00:40:35.650-08:002010-02-21T00:40:35.650-08:00Perhaps the Oligarchs are just soaking up as much ...Perhaps the Oligarchs are just soaking up as much upward wealth transfer as they can before the dollar crashes.<br /><br />They will need enough money to leave America entirely and establish armed fortifications to live in places like Paraguay, Bahrain, Arab Emirates, etc<br /><br />The U.S. is now slightly over 85% in terms of Debt-to-GNP ratio.<br /><br />The traditional tipping point for nations' economies/currency is 90-100%.

Won't they eventually reach some sort of tipping point when the wealth distribution is so distorted that their own positions become compromised?<br /><br />Or are they counting on the wealth of other nations to keep them on their pinnacle of privilege?
