It is exactly this kind of philosophy (greed is good) embarking in the 80's, which brought this country to where it is now.
It is the abandonment of any moral attitude and instead recklessly subscribe to to the blunt admission of full force greed as a vehicle to to establish human accomplishment, which is in reality nothing more but accumulation of numerical monetary quantities.
The possibilities of fixing this current financial problem are very slim, at least in my view. It will require a complete reset of America’s personality profile.
It is exactly such proposals and role models produced in Hollywood strips like ‘Wallstreet’, that brought us to where we are at right now. (repetition)
One could also call it legitimized recklessness and culture legal rip-off. None of this functions anymore, not now and much less in the future.
The motto will be: “America, show us what you really got. Show us your backbone!”
Personally, as an actor, M. Douglas is to me no more than a measly shadow of his father’s name. His early years, when he got his ‘on the job’ training with Karl Malden in “Streets of San Francisco” he still impersonated an ambitious profile. After that … pffft.
And remember, even his father Kirk Douglas was regarded as “Hey, actor …!” by icons like John ‘The Duke’ Wayne.
For all those who are born some time around the 80’s, I understand, growing up in the shades of the most daring financial culture of all times, is very impressive and mind boggling. Unfortunately, it simply doesn’t work and that’s what we see at the present.
