Many Americans have discovered that those entrusted to protect us often become the most dangerous threats. Whether it's corrupt cops, bogus journalists, or even Ponzi-scheming church elders, it's not difficult to understand why trusting authorities has seemed like a risky proposition. Now, another institution deserves extra scrutiny. A closer look at the Securities and Exchange Commission reveals a single moment in time when the future of the country was transferred from the middle class to the uber-rich.

Heroin Abuse

This all seems like good investment strategy: Convince everyone that "free trade" is good, take their jobs, make them desperate enough to become heroin addicts, and then take the last bit of their money by profiting from their drug-related healthcare expenses. For some reason, the average person always seems to come out on the wrong side of quantitative easing.

Jeb Bush Income

Jeb Bush continues the long tradition of playing both sides. You could say it's in his blood. His grandfather, Prescott Bush, profited from investments in the Nazi war industry until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act. Now, 73 years later, his grandson is straddling the line between the Democrats and Republicans by calling the Affordable Care Act a "monstrosity." Never mind the fact that this legislation led to some monster-sized profits thanks to his investments in Tenet Healthcare, where he was a director.

Alfred Postell

The BLS continues to perpetuate the distraction officially known as the "unemployment rate" to hide the grim reality portrayed by the labor force participation rate, which shows the true decline of employment in America. The labor force participation rate of college graduates has never been lower. In the new normal, McDonald's has a lower acceptance rate than Ivy League schools. Just when you thought you had seen everything, a new story emerges: Alfred Postell has three degrees - accounting, economics, and law - but he is unemployed and homeless.

Marriage Leash

If marriage insurance sales take off, it's only a matter of time before Wall Street repackages it and sells it to investors via subprime marriage-backed securities.
