So now it's a lack of capitalism that OWS are protesting about? Right, I see.....
Schiff was Ron Paul's 'economic advisor' in 2008. He's an extreme free-marketeer - a Miseian Austrian twit. So he thinks Wall St is over-regulated. Sure.
Is he one of the 99%? Emphatically no! Wiki says
Peter David Schiff is an American businessman, author and financial commentator. Schiff is CEO and chief global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital Inc., a broker-dealer based in Westport, Connecticut and CEO of Euro Pacific Precious Metals, LLC, a gold and silver dealer based in New York City.If Rivero or anyone else imagines Schiff is part of the 99%, well, they already had their say:
In the Republican primary, held on August 10, 2010, Schiff lost the nomination to Linda McMahon.So, he couldn't win amongst the Republicans, and the Republicans couldn't win against the Democrats. Some 99%.
The results were:
49% Linda McMahon
28% Rob Simmons
23% Peter Schiff
Ultimately, the election was won by the Democratic Party primary winner, Richard Blumenthal.
From Schiff's blog:
Ah, ok then. At least Schiff knows the score.
