Financial Mafia..

Perhaps they will make an offer you don’t want to refuse… the parallels between the Mob and financial industry are amazingly defined, you have the soldiers, in the mob the enablers keeping an ear “on the street” in the financial industry the cold callers and sales staff looking for clients “on the street”

Level 2 In the Mob “Made men” taking a cut from all the soldiers transactions. In the financial industry the middle managersget the lions share of commissions from the cold callers.

This goes on until it reaches “The Godfathers” who take the lions share of the “tributes”

so next time someone tries to sell you a policy or a financial package ask who gets the commission and at what the percentages are  and how they are distributed.

Seems to me that despite a tradition to the opposite, religion is being alowed to mix with politics. In the desperate race to garner more votes both parties in the US election are pandering to the religious right. By doing this they deprive the average voter of their fair say in who represents them. Ronald Reagan started this departure from a 200 year old tradition, in my opinion it should stop NOW and keep church and state separate for ever.
