Hello, faithful readers. I know, I know, I’ve been gone forever and a day, and before that I was all marketing blah blah online dating blah and social media blah blah. Sue me, I was trying a new direction that hasn’t panned out. It just isn’t…me. So back to politics and religion and the media and occasionally bitching about prudery and then also stuff about my awesome life.
Today, I want to talk about the coming consumer-driven market correction.
At the heart of the Occupy Wall Street movement is a boiling-over frustration with a broken political and economic system. The American economy is designed to work only for corporations. Let’s look at banking first. The more money one has, the more you get; the less you have, the more you pay – I have little money, so I pay high fees at the bank for the privilege of them safeguarding my meager holdings. The more money I personally possess, the less it costs me to have it – not just in percentages, but in actual dollars. Reach a certain level at a bank, and monthly fees, debit card fees, services fees – all these are a thing of your past. In one light, this absolutely rewards frugality, saving, careful money stewardship, and loyalty. In another, it rewards rewards. You have little money – give us some more. You have lots of money – here is some more.
