Reply #69: I understand your argument [View All]

[William Z. Foster]

I disagree and object to it.

I was around when the investment mania and real estate mania first started. There was a tremendous amount of social pressure - one was viewed as a pariah if they objected to it in any way - and lots of smooth fast talking sales people prowling everywhere.

I strongly object to this "hey too bad, you lose and the smart people win" attitude. Most strongly. The clever, self-serving, control freak assholes win, not the smart people. And a lot of people got taken for a ride, knowingly and intentionally and in some very clever ways.

Stand with the clever little foxes. I stand with the "stupid people," with the "small people," with the people who are not predatory and self-serving enough to successfully swim in these shark infested waters. I dream of the day when the meek do finally inherit the earth, and the clever people are all put on an island somewhere - one person per island, and they can take "personal responsibility" and "look out for number one" to their heart's content.
