Most of the large builders responsible for the boom did it by hiring contractors for million dollar jobs and then stiffing them. When the contractors asked for the money, the capitalist heroes of America, really nothing more than common criminals, said, “See you in court.” As it costs more to fight the case in court than they would have gotten if they had been paid with their wages, the contractors just give it up. As I said, most of the glorious boom that the capitalists were raving about was being done by wealthy versions of common criminal scum. The whole boom was predicated on mass thievery and most of the super-thieves went on to become millionaires, multi-millionaires and even billionaires like Trump.
White collar criminals like Trump steal far more money than street burglars and robbers, but nobody cares about them. Burglars and robbers are scummy criminals. White collar criminals are capitalist heroes to be lauded as heroes all across the red, white and blue land. America: the land where crime is worshiped, as long as it is white collar crime. America, where criminals are gods as long as they are rich criminals.
I have said it before and I will say it again, the religion of America is not Christianity. The religion of America is Money.
