But wait, there's more to the Target story. Apparently, by getting rid of the CEO BEFORE seeking creditor protection, he gets to return home to the States with his money and all the creditors--including the Canadian taxpayer--are left looking for loose change.
Sure, the world is just perfect the way we allow big money to take care of themselves, regardless of who they have to steal from.

Why has nobody answered the question put forth by Lobo?
What percentage of wealth is acceptable for the top 1% to own? I would also like to know how to gain compliance?

I read a book ages ago in the 70s I think about financial scams and there was a lot in it about golden handshakes, companies being set up to go broke, takeovers, asset strippers, money laundering and so on. There was lot of takeovers at that time with Goldsmith and the big boys. As I recall, these golden handshakes, they started out as a means to stop these take overs. If you took over one to asset strip then you had pay the board off. I can’t remember what it said exactly.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

The article describes comments made by several different people to an audience / members of the press at a major world forum sometime in the last few days. You think the two situations are really similar? Geez, there is even video evidence supporting the article I linked to: http://www.biznews.com/davos-2015/2015/0......os-year/ So, no, I think the article is likely more accurate (and certainly at least AS accurate) in its reporting than Lott. That is, I believe Stewart Wallis and Robert Johnson made the comments the Mirror reported they made. I do not have the same faith that Obama made the comment Lott accorded to him. (Especially considering Lott has a long and documented history of fudging and misrepresenting facts.) Are Stewart Wallis and Robert Johnson correct? I don't know. But what they say is consistent with what I have heard some billionaires (e.g. Jim Rogers) say themselves on CNBC in the past.

Don’t the Government lay on planes for the rich, like the Bin Laden family, when they need to escape?
