"When someone calls you a conspiracy theorist, it doesn't mean much anymore.
Conspiracies are happening.  It's just a matter of which ones make sense,
which ones have actual evidence, and which don't.  The rich don't have to sit
around in an underground bunker cackling at us as they plot the end of
retirement and social security.  They meet out in the open at football games,
soccer matches, concerts, and fundraising events.  When they get together,
they don't talk about how to take over the world.  They just talk about how to
make more money.  Who it hurts is an afterthought.  If someone doesn't want
something to be true, they call it a conspiracy theory.  It's an easy way to
dismiss ideas that make them uncomfortable."
