I'm watching Scarborough and Chris Hanson trying to suggest that Americans with negative incomes and questionable money habits are equally to blame for the economic collapse.
These sorts of conversations are poison -- conversations among wealthy media personalities who work for multinational corporations in which they try to say that "greedy" people at the bottom, the least powerful people in the national food chain are equally to blame for this mess.
It's the "she was asking for it" argument applied to the recession. It's, in essence, the wealthy telling the middle and working classes: For the last 40 years, we spent untold billions telling you that you need our crap to be happy -- manipulating your perception of the world and bombarding you around the clock with our message... but damn you for buying our crap!
