[pct-l] Damage Control

[bighummel at aol.com]

Hmm, I'm in the top 1% of consumable of everything in life and control about 30% of everything around me, albeit I have a very hard time of controlling anything these days! Control is an delusional thing, I can't control myself, my wife, my kids, my home, my work, in fact I think I'm really losing control . . . most of the time my legs are actually the only thing that controls me.

All in context.

According to Nobel-prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz: ?The top 1
percent of Americans now take in roughly one-fourth of America?s total
income every year. In terms of wealth rather than income, . . . the top 1
percent now controls 40 percent of the total American wealth. This is new.
Twenty-five years ago, the corresponding figures were the top 1% took in 12
percent of the income and controlled 33 percent of the wealth.?

No economist -- not one -- among the top thousand or so economists in the
US, Europe, or Australia considers this healthy for an economy, a people, or
a future.

PS. Caveat: I foretell turbulence, however, if the pct-l moves toward
political commentary.
