“Een corrupt systeem dat domheid beloont”

De Zwitserse investeerder en beursgoeroe Marc Faber spreekt harde woorden over de Amerikaanse overheid en politiek : “A corrupt system that rewards stupidity“.  Wat hem nog het meest tegen staat is dat niemand benoemd in een officiële positie nog verantwoordelijk is of gehouden wordt voor zijn en haar daden.  En ook : “Clearly, it has never occurred to the professors at the Fed that Fed policies favor only large asset holders and, by creating bubbles, destroy the assets of the majority“.

For the greater part of human history, leaders who were in a position to exercise power were accountable for their actions. If they waged wars or had to defend their territories from invading hostile forces, they frequently lost their lives, territories, armies, power and crowns. I don’t deny that some leaders were irresponsible, but in general, they were fully aware that they were responsible for their acts and, therefore, they acted responsibly.  The problem we are faced with today is that our political and (frequently) business leaders are not being held responsible for their actions. Thomas Sowell sums it up well:  “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong”.  En net dit zijn dezelfde mensen die we nu aan het roer laten blijven om recht te zetten…wat ze verkeerd hebben gedaan…
