The contempt the people of CNBC have for anyone who dares question
their true value to society...

What bothered me the most about the fall of Spitzer was all the gloating on CNBC as the money lovers rubbed their hands with glee now that their old Nemesis had taken a tumble from his carefully crafted stance of morality...

These money grubbers don't know anything about morality or justice or the rule of law...

It's all about grabbing as much cash as they can while alive...

The rules are not made for people like them...

And then to top it all off, the US Federal Reserve Bank injects another $200 billion into the monetary system to rescue those who worship only mammon...

"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Mammon..." Matthew 6:19-21,24

And yet these pillars of our society, these captains of industry mock morality, sneer at justice and laugh when a week man succumbs to avarice and greed...

And tonight, they go home to their Nero like palaces and talk about how the people should pull themselves up by their bootstraps while putting in a call to their friend and co-conspirator sitting in the White House and demand the government do something about the very mess they created from greed...

Elliot Spitzer deserves all that happens to him as his pride brought him to the Abyss, hubris corrupted his mind and pushed him over the edge...

Tonight, I once again weep for America...

1. Wow...you have put your finger right on the issues...
The hypocrisy that is rampant throughout the whole mess is so disturbing...

And they are all guilty of it.

CNBC, the Wall Street barons, and yes, Spitzer too...

K&R
