President Obama and Prime Minister Brown touched upon the need to creat a world regulating agency which would oversee all financial institutions -- banking -- everything, tracking all money moving anywhere.
So the bankers really blew it for themselves this time. No more international safe havens. No more protection from prying eyes.
What if all of a sudden, follow the money actually lead somewhere?
What if we could see the red stain of cash making a trail all the way from our pile in the desert back through Halliburton to Dick Cheney's pocket? But that will never happen. Who would be brave enough to dip his toe in that river of molten lava. For all we know the last guy to disagree with Dick got his face shot off.
But maybe big oil, and big money, and the big guns got too big for their britches. (I hope -- I don't want this to pi** off anyone still important) Just maybe world government is the only way to effectively regulate big world-wide businesses.
Let's see; from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. I make $18(average country wage) and the guy responsible for losing trillions received just shy of a half a million for that same hour. Assuming we both have weekends off, of course.
Yeah, right, I want protect this guy's right to put all that money into his pocket at the expense of my kids education, health care, clean air and the environment. Or do I?
