Sounds like a Muslim name to me. And you say he's Canadian? Apparently the US isn't the only country that's being over run by those people. He seems to be down on Wall Street and capitalism in general, and he uses the word "social" a lot, which suggests that he's some kind of socialist. I suppose that doesn't mean that he's all bad but, if he was running for president, or even county commissioner, he would not get my vote. Like most stories, this one probably has some truth in it, it all depends how you want to spin it, and this guy's spin is definitely counter clockwise.
I can't speak for other people, but Wall Street has been pretty good to me since the paper mill closed down in 1990. I don't do hedge funds or any of that fancy stuff, just a conservative index fund. Of course there have been ups and downs, but the long term trend has definitely been up, at least for me.
I'm sorry that there are people out there who have fallen through the cracks, but I didn't cause it and I can't fix it. If the government confiscated my total net worth and distributed it to the poor, they would still be poor, and now I would be poor too. How would that be an improvement?
I agree that a lot of the news these days consists of celebrity gossip, which is why I don't follow the news as much as some people. As I have said before, I am more interested in issues than I am in personalities. By the way, Uncle Ken, why are you down on Wikipedia?
This Yemen thing sounds like another can of worms that would best be avoided by our government, but don't count on it. It doesn't seem to matter which party is in power, they both like to squander our troops and treasure in those two bit countries that nobody cares about. The Libertarians are the only ones who believe that we should stay home and mind our own business, but they believe in some other things that don't make as much sense, so there you go.
