Though not as pitiful as the those who argue that such a system is better than all other possibilities. Worse is all the people who will manage to live and become paupers in the process so that a precious few can become even richer by not doing anything except skimming off the top. If American "conservatives" were actually conservatives rather than the rotten, neo-liberal colostomy bags that they really are, they might be outraged by the destruction. After all, these are Americans...Joe Six Packs, veterans and patriots...the very greatness that supposedly needs conserving. The neo-liberals have gutted every nation they've ever gotten their hands on, this one isn't any different.
