Asserts the Ugandan libertarian journalist, who zeroes in on America's debt: "The genius
(and evil) of Wall Street and its control over the US government
regardless of which political party is in its power to privatise profits
and nationalise loses. When companies are doing well, their executives
and shareholders reap all the benefits – in form of high pay, bonuses,
dividends and high stock prices. However, when their excesses push them
to the brink of collapse, they use government, which they control, to
commandeer taxpayer money to bail themselves out. I know no system, not
even Marshal Mobutu Sese Seko’s in former Zaire, that is as corrupt as
the US system – only that its corruption is perfectly legal. Both Obama
and Romney are slight variants of drivers of a train that has lost its
brakes. That is why I wonder how people find the energy to support
either side in an American presidential election."
