Correct. People tend to view value in terms of USD not value of labor. Bankers can steal your labor by devaluing currency. They can buy the whole economy eventually by flooding enough currency

You sound like me. I totally agree. I especially am amused with derivatives. The ultimate way to hide risk. Then ETFs of ETFs. You just have to laugh at the ways they rig the system. And as soon as you think they've got all the scams possible, Goldman Sachs engineers yet more scams. Matt Tiabbi immortalized Goldman Sachs by saying "The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money." Pure poetry!
