American values upside down

11 years ago

To the editor:
I read some interesting content on Facebook where conservatives were defending the Koch Brothers with the liberal complacency of George Soros.
Hedge funds, currency speculation, and commodities speculation are nothing more than a skimming process that removes value from long-term investment and productivity. Yet the economic minds that skim the best have been immensely rewarded and have become American heroes.
The Supreme Court has ruled that greasing the wheels is our constitutional right. This has gotten to the point where skimming and greasing the wheels are the largest industries in America. The biggest problem with this is that it has superseded the value of hard work, integrity and innovation.
