Google"You Got this Occupy Wall Street crowd that wants to have a
communist revolution," says investment guru and outspoken defender
of free enterprise Peter Schiff, "but hopefully we can have more of
a free-market...second American revolution and understand all the
pain we're about to endure is because of government. It's not
because of capitalism."
Schiff caused a sensation last month when he visited New York's
Zuccotti Park and argued with Occupy Wall Street protesters about
the causes of and solutions to the Great Recession. In this video,
he talks to "the 1 Percent," a group of wealthy individuals who
gathered recently in the Bel Air home of
Judd Weiss .
Regardless of his audience, Schiff's message in entirely
consistent: Cronyism and government policies have distorted the
economy and "we're not even near the bottom yet" in terms of the
downturn.
