The War On…

America had a “War On Poverty”. Look around. Poverty won.

Poverty exists not because we cannot afford to feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

Ah, before anyone cries, "Socialist!" please know that I am stockbroker. I believe strongly in capitalism. However, nothing we humans have ever created has been perfect and that includes capitalism. As in the first Guilded Age, the pendulum has swung far too much in favor of the upper class, in my humble opinion. The trick is to get us back toward the center where entrepreneurship is still rewarded but the power of their subsequent immense resources is kept in check. Don't hold your breath for that to happen anytime soon.
