Quote from petty1978:
I hear you...I'll take us a little more off topic...
The blatant truth is getting more and more "in your face" or we are getting more access to good information and seeing the problems more clearly...however, I believe it has always been a broken system.
This subject is tough to discuss because we are all part of the problem...we take part in every major point in a vicious circle that we keep momentum for...we are the end consumer of the products we create, we perpetuate the problem, we are literally feeding ourselves poisen, allbeit, it is given to us by big business/Banks/Government etc, but we happily take and distribute it to our fellow man...we just cant say no. And if we did, our standard of living would crumble in 10 years time and so we are good little sheep and we play along...knowingly or unknowingly...
But what are we going to do? We cant do anything about it...even as traders we feed the larger issues and are part of the larger problem...we create liquidity to a degree...but we are compensated nicely for our efforts..so where do we draw the line?
To sum this up:
"Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase."
Charles Caleb Colton
