Governments around the world are after any asset class that a single individual holds , they want control over your wealth as they feel they can spend it more wisely than you . In Australia alone there is a 3 trillion dollar honey pot of your money the gov nuts want to get their hands on , they have easier access to it than you do . Corporatization of businesses to muscle out the little guy and the individual . Super funds and fund managers drip feeding your retirement savings , oh god help me if you took the lot out in one hit on retirement. These fund managers are the sleaziest grubs on the planet using your money to control companies , boards of directors and governments , just take the supermarket debacle right now .They dont give a flying f#$k about price gouging as long as their bottom line is strong and returning a divvy to the shareholder which is a fund manager who in turn returns a lesser % growth to the plebs who are buying the goods where inflation is outpacing their returns. A con job of monumental proportions . Gone are the days where mum and dad investors have a say on company direction , lazy , just give it to a crook and he will determine your standard of living . The third largest economy in the world behind the USA and China is the combined entity of Blackrock and Vanguard , people talk about a revolution against the system , a good start would be to start clawing back your own wealth for you to dictate your own future.
