Here is one of the reader comments following the article entitled, “From Dodd-Frank to Dud: How Financial Reform May Be Going Wrong.”

“The elites have recreated many of the dynamics which led to World War’s I and II to some of the comments above.  In fact, there was a mass desertion in the French army during WWI as the average man realized it was a war of interests served by oligarchs and elites.  French officers ended up threatening to kill deserters to stop an entire meltdown that at one time purportedly included tens of thousands of men.  Ditto with WWII where American corporate and banking interests helped the Nazis rebuild Germany by investing heavily in the ravaged economy.  That is, until the Nazis started nationalizing economic interests and started the march of war.  And today, American bankers and corporations invest heavily in a communist country that too holds none of our democratic ideals.  What happens if China turns belligerent?  Our best hope to avoid future conflict may be the enlightenment of society that refuses to fight the wars of a corrupt elite.  I could easily envision a future America where the foot soldier refuses to fight the wars that are a result of massive fraud and corruption.”

The article, while lengthy, offers an insight into the incestuous relationship between the capital holder and the “public servants” who are supposed to represent the interests of all citizens. (Yeah, like that’s going to happen … these folks who pander for your vote at election time follow only the masters who reward them financially.)
