Tomorrow the world celebrates the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (October 17th) by turning a lot of middle class people into poor. This sacrifice to the blood sucking poverty is a pledge to let major financiers and board directors survive the markets crash and maintain their mansions in the Riviera and alike.
The same head of states and leaders who rushed and instantly committed a lot of money and made budgets available to support and save their friends and golf-mates in the financial institutions, dodged committing same amounts for social needs, medical and education security for urban poor communities, in the name of market dynamics and finance mechanisms. Suddenly all the cash is made available to bail their financiers from their crisis.
From the preceding and by logical deduction, it is obvious that financing political campaigns is the best investment in the market and politicians are the best economic good that money can buy.
I would call on all governments to make available a list of the major share-holders and the annual accruals and benefits of all persons sitting on the boards of directors of those stumbling financial institution, for the tax payers to know which fat cows they salvaged.
Tax payers should be proud that they saved such miserably rich people; who embezzled millions of dollars on golf tournaments, cocktail parties and bribing their venal politicians all over the world. They should take pride at every roadside and celebrate the poverty day by embracing poverty themselves and their siblings for years to come.
