Just like a sheep herd mentality, you can hear media stoking the anger of how Average Joe has to bear the burden of the rich people's gambles.
Here's a news flash
The top 1% ile pay 40% of the taxes. The top 5% ile pay almost 60% of the taxes.
i.e the Average Joe doesn't complain about this gross injustice that has been happening over the past hundreds of years, while the $700 B bailout will be pretty much picked up by the rich guys.
Basically, it is so easy for media to manipulate the herds. Just like Mish's readers, with all their self-proclaimed contrarion views, were manipulated like a sheep by Mish himself
