It's just like magic. Now you see it. Now you don't.

The rich say they earned their money and deserve to keep it. Well, where do you think they got their money from? From a money elf? Chasing a rainbow? Selling lemonade?

Here is the unknown truth. Surprise! They got their money from you and me. From investments that went bad. We lost. The rich won.

Have you ever heard of the “transfer of wealth?” The middle class once had most of the wealth. But the cunning Wall Street bankers took it from us while we were innocently cutting taxes for the rich. They play a mean bait and switch game. Now you see it. Now you don’t. Putting hard earned money into risky investments. We were Playing games without knowing the real rules. Rules that keep on changing.

So now, the wealth has been transferred to offshore accounts. Never more to be seen. Never more to be used for the American good. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. Zip! Pop! Shazaam! Gone. Vaporized. Middle class money quickly becoming a faded memory.

Goodbye good paying jobs. Goodbye higher education for the kids. Goodbye affordable health care. And, goodbye the way we were.

Never mind the fine print and the lawyer speak. That doesn’t matter anymore. Once Wall Street got our money. Their contractual responsibilities disappeared. Poof. Gone up in smoke.

So, Ladies and Gentlemen, you have been “Transferred!” Some might call it “screwed.” We’ve been had. Tricked. Robbed. And, laid to waste.

Once again, it use to be our money but now it gone. Never more to come back. All because we trusted smiling politicians with hidden agendas. Politicians who make more money from special interests than they make from being a hired congressman. In Mexico they call that bribery or being on the take. But in America, the bribe money comes from the business cartels. Evil men with evil intent. Disgusting people known as Lobbyists.

I just thought you might want to know where your money is.
