Jas, just when I think that the scamsters will run out of cons to suck in "invesuckers", the more clever among the bunch step up their efforts to defraud invesuckers and further fill their deepening pockets.
You are a born-and-bred American and suffer from optimitis. ;-) Yes, the expense ratio is a scam in itself.

Regarding Chris Hedges's piece, the problem, as I see it, with born-and-bred Americans is that they believe that democracy is inherently a good political system and some dopes believe that it is the best political system. In fact it is a bad political system unless it is checked by institutions not controlled by the merchant class. There is a reason why merchant class was looked down upon, historically—they are always looking for dishonest ways to make money if they could get away with it. Once the moneyed businessmen have unchecked power, via control of a democratic government, they always resort to fraudulent schemes. How is a born-and-bred American dope to know this? You mean Krooksman and Limbaugh would tell the American People? These two born-and-bred American dopes are history ignoramuses and they are only in one business, the propaganda business.
Once again let me summarize America's unsolvable problems—born-and-bred dopes, rogue economists and crooked economic elite. Politicians are merely the intermediaries.

Do Not Pity the Democrats

There are no longer any major institutions in American society, including the press, the educational system, the financial sector, labor unions, the arts, religious institutions and our dysfunctional political parties, which can be considered democratic. The intent, design and function of these institutions, controlled by corporate money, are to bolster the hierarchical and anti-democratic power of the corporate state. These institutions, often mouthing liberal values, abet and perpetuate mounting inequality. They operate increasingly in secrecy. They ignore suffering or sacrifice human lives for profit. They control and manipulate all levers of power and mass communication. They have muzzled the voices and concerns of citizens. They use entertainment, celebrity gossip and emotionally laden public-relations lies to seduce us into believing in a Disneyworld fantasy of democracy.
