I have read several good article about income inequality. They are all discussing a new book by Thomas Piketty (Professor at the Paris School of Economics) with the title: Capital in the Twenty-First Century I work with data all day and his analysis of a century of (income) data makes it very clear what we […]
Systematic Evil
A picture is worth more than 1000 words
I found a threat on Quora and some photgraphs fit this little blog about systematic evil. First picture is Joseph Goebbels scowling at photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt after finding out he’s Jewish, 1933. Goebbels is one of the grandfathers of systematic evil. Second one is much more funny. Obama and the NSA scandal….well at least he […]

Income Tax Inequality, Injustice and Systematic Evil from Monsato
The first video was recorded in 2005. The two richest people in the world – Bill Gates and Warren Buffet comment on their own tax rate. Warren Buffet at around 1:50m: “They have really taken care of the rich.” It is kind of modern sarcasm that the richest people tell us to tax them more as […]
