Also, he's a progressive capitalist, not a socialist. Huge difference. This is a matter of semantics. Elementary schools teach socialism as an autocracy, but Karl Marx never believed that was possible. "Progressive capitalism" in a market crisis period is right from the playbook of Das Kapital .

In 1929 and 1874, there was still a strong tradition of paying dividends. I was stuck in a car with my boomer bosses and they were giving me 'advice' about investments, coming up with these complex ways to value a company based on future cash flows and recent price strength and all sorts of complic...
