#1 Expect US sanctions against Switzerland? Probably not, they (US rulers) have to keep their own money somewhere.

#3 The report shows wealth inequality has topped its highest level since the Great Depression of 1929

Ignore the fact that the 'bottom' in 2014 looks a lot like the 'upper' in 1929. If food, housing, clothing, heat, and access to reasonable medical care (circa 2014) at any emergency room, is the floor, WTF are you whining about? /rhet question.

#4 the "bottom" can't afford an HDTV larger than 50".

Oh, the humanity!

#5 They'll just find an excuse for another riot and loot one...and have the pols justify the theft by the next day (though a bit disgruntled because they couldn't beat the street thugs getting it first and then turning it over to them for the cred. Middlemen are like that when you take away their bread and butter hustle).

#6 As a Ludwig von Mises guy, what he is whining about is inflation of the currency supply by central banks and fractional reserve banking - a stealth tax which transfers wealth from the working and middle classes to the banking and political class. Grinding down a country's labor force while enriching its parasites is not a sustainable trend; hence, further recession/depression can be expected. Of the deflationary sort, which would be good news for anyone who drives a car, eats food, or needs heat to stay warm.
