The lesson of 1933 is you get out sooner rather than later

My apologies for not sooner thanking the community for the responses regarding the feedback on the two real estate professional. Your help is greatly appreciated. We received a counteroffer and then submitted our counteroffer. Wish us luck!

Within the thread are references to the U.S. Pledge of Allegience. Here is my version that I recite ... always under my breath so that no one will hear:

"I pledge allegiance to the Corporations of the Citizens United of America and to the Billionaires, for whom they benefit, one nation, under SuperPACs, economically divided, with liberty and justice for the 0.01%."

"There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning." -- Warren Buffett, CEO, Berkshire Hathaway

This was my response when a student recently asked about the influence of money on our political environment. I posted it on my website.

Nothing is perfect. That includes capitalism. In fact, capitalism might just be the worst economic system ever created ... except for all the others. However, lately something has changed in the world of capitalism and not for the best. I used to be so proud of how many billionaires that the United States had minted. Now we see that some of those billionaires have been using their power to corrupt our political system. If we don't want the United States to wind up as a kleptocracy like Russia, we have to curtail the power of money in our world of politics. Wish us luck!
