I have to deal with somebody who constantly rants about how the middle class is screwed because of Wall Street’s unfair advantage in futures markets and oil prices and how CEOS want to screw everybody and yada yada and the government “should do”… well, of course this person has no goddamn idea what they should do but they sure love to watch MSNBC and listen to Paul Krugman every day.
