Skimming Shareholder Savings - Media Coverage in 2015


     Systematic pilferage of investor savings, the sole reason why the filthy rich have grown so much richer since 1981 and are now thought of as so much filthier, has gone unacknowledged, hence unpunished, for thirty-four years and counting.  At the time of legislative enablement, these criminal transactions were given two deceptive tags: 1) stock options, which isn't even close to "scammers skimming stockholder ownership interest into scammer pockets, where pilferage becomes staggering booty because there are so many victimized shareholders and so few thieving scammers", the MacDougal Post definition of what's going on here, and 2) employee compensation, which doesn't even begin to cover the theft or the stolen property these crooks end up with.

     Mainstream media has ignored this criminal activity these three decades because they're in on it.  Chances are, your favorite talking head is stashing away oodles of our family savings every year him/herself, smiling at his/her victim, you, all the while.   #$%%*&&^%$ scammer.

     Here's the kind of thing our media hotshots come up with on the subject; in reality, the piece addresses what corporate criminals do with their stolen property (your hard-earning savings) once they've gotten their greedy little fingers on it, and whether we need better laws covering that, for goodness sakes;  hey, hotshots, how about a piece on which politicians are taking what bribes from which scammers to keep the racketeering going:
