Max says:

Why not have Capitalism? Why not have market forces? Why not have the losers lose and the winners get to win? Why are the losers running the show? Why are the banks on Wall Street who lost all the money...how come they're still in business?...

Ans: Well, I think, Max, because Wall Street writes all the regulations.


Humph! Imagine that!

Max concludes by saying that until the fraud and corruption is addressed, "everything else is theoretical".

I, for one, would like to have a straight-up answer from our president as to why no major players from Wall Street have gone to prison for their crimes against the American people.

Should I not then suggest, "off to the greatest threads page with you!"???????

Can we get a "Amen" then and a kick or two?

The man is a non-stop dynamo!!!! It is crazy that we only have a few such voices crying out! It is so open and blatant! Unfortunately, it is waaay beyond the comprehension of most Americans. They no longer think for themselves and so anything they cannot understand, must not affect them.

Keiser needs to be careful when planning his travel arrangements. Truth speakers of this degree tend to be short lived.
