"Griftopia," by Matt Taibbi

You have a select group of people who are not elected who actually control things here.

No, this is not some nutjob conspiracy theory.

These are people like Greenspan, who controlled the Fed through several Presidents of both parties and was kept in power because he was making money for he rich.

The rich are raping America and one well researched book that tells a lot about how BOTH parties are in this is the book 'Griftopia," by Matt Taibbi. He does an excellent job of explaining simply, the housing bubble, how it was created to make money and how it was forced to crash with no concern for Americans.

He also explains how other bubbles are intentionally being created for profit, such as the gas crisis bubble, again, purely for profit of a few. That's why these companies had record profits during this time.

He explains the commodities market bubble, which is why your food is costing so much more, even though there is plenty of food available, and how the infrastructure of our country is being sold off to foreign owners overseas at a major loss in order to finance temporary tax deficits now, and how the insurance companies are closing good hospitals who try to take care of their patients and keep costs down.

He explains how the Obamacare act was perverted by these insurance companies to further increase their profits in a market which they already own and are LEGALLY ALLOWED to price fix!

He also explains how and why this will continue and how and why ALL the politicians in Washington are owned by big business.

If you are tired of being jerked around and treated like a fool by those in power, this book is a good place to start!
