Mr. Virg Bernero
Wow . . .is something changing in the USA?
For decades, Wall Street and its ilk have been identified as the engine of the US economy. Identified as the folks who deserve riches and credit for the wonderful work they do. Never mind that bankers and investors don't actually do any work. (Unless you consider gambling to be work - which KIW absolutely does.)
But is gambling and moneylending really the top echelon of work? Is it the work that we want to encourage? Is it the "work" that deserves to take 95% of the pie? Leaving 5% for all the other workers?
Yesterday, Fox News hosted Virg Bernero, the mayor of Lansing, Michigan. KIW likes the mayor's perspective.
