Why Saving the Middle Class Is Fair, by Skip Conover Wall Street investment banks were allowed to speculate without regulation over the past decade. They created a house of cards with risks at about 900:1. No wonder they were paying themselves $100 million bonuses. In Las Vegas, you can only get 35:1 odds on Roulette. When their house of cards collapsed the, life's savings of millions of Americans evaporated in a few months. Published 05Jan2012, viewed 54 times

Referring to Socialism Is a Republican Tactic to Grind Down the Middle Class, by Skip Conover We must ask ourselves an important question. What was it about President Obama's message of "Change" that resonated so deeply with the American people? The answer is quite simply that the "Social Contract" is broken in our country, and we want it fixed! Just one poignant call from "WeArethe99Percent" sums up the problem: "The Best and Brightest of my generation are bagging your groceries. I am the 99%!" Published 24Dec2011, viewed 60 times
Finance: A Shattered Trust, by Scott F Paradis The wizards of Wall Street undermine the promise of America: the opportunity to render service and to collect riches in proportion to the value of that service.

By getting without giving, financial titans conspire to overpower the inviolate law of economics and in so doing drive America to its knees. Published 23Dec2011, viewed 34 times

America's Choice: Poverty Or Prosperity?, by Scott F Paradis We have driven ourselves here: millions unemployed, trillions of dollars in debt, political gridlock and moral paralysis.
