The parasitic class of super-elites has bastardized capitalism
to extract value for themselves at the cost of everyone else,
and either governments change the rules by which this game is rigged
… or we the people will change governments.
Jeff Opdyke, [I][B]The EU Meltdown[/B][/I], writing in [I]The Sovereign Investor[/I]
“Our elected officials would do well to remember that the most prosperous countries
are those that allow consumers – not governments – to direct the use of resources.
Allowing the government to pick winners and losers hurts
almost everyone, especially our poorest citizens.”
“It is my belief that within 10 years, every single thing of value
on the surface of the Earth is going to be tracked and traced,
including you, your dog, your children, your car,
and anything that you own which is of value.”
George Buckley, Ph.D, CEO of 3M Co. from 2005 until his retirement in 2012,
in a May 2006 speech to Wall Street analysts
at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.
