  1. there is nothing new about greed, and institutionalizing it doesn't make it better. but does make it stronger. being a citizen of a democracy has responsibilities, and benefits. the responsibilities arise from participation in the management of the nation, the benefits are necessary, to insure that the nation's managers all have reason to believe in the prosperity of the nation, and its people. but usa is not a democracy, the people do not rule, so they must scrabble for survival as their masters allow. you would think they would get tired of it. but, so long as 50% are ok, revolution is unlikely to succeed. are 50% ok, and which direction is the trend line? no matter, nothing will be done until the situation is much worse. then some general will seize power and throw coins to the poor. roll on, military salvation! btw, economists can tell you why, but they can't tell you how.
