    There's a lot of legit ways to make money...and a lot of illegal ways too!

Drugs, sex, guns, telephone scamming, tiger parts (yes, it's true) and even your local electrician might be part of this hidden economy.

  • Ep 10 - Stick it to the Man, Middle Class!

    It sure is fun to stick it to the man.
    Just think of all those Redditers from WallStreetBets.
    All those small investors...all those middle income earners...sticking it to the one per centers...those guys that run the big hedge funds.
    It showed the world the holes in the Wall Street system.
    It cost the hedge funds a lot of money. It cost Robin Hood too.
    But in the end, it has to come to an end.
    And if you didn't get out in time...it only cost the little guy once again.

  • EP 9 - Welfare State and the Middle Class

    What's a welfare state, and how does it impact on the middle class. From Scandinavian countries to Canada and America, there are stark differences in welfare state programs in the western world. Universal programs with little bureaucracy, needs based programs with lots of bureaucracy, and a country with relatively no welfare state programs at all. There is talk of the Green New Deal in the States, maybe not today...but the process is beginning...

  • Ep 6 - Middle Class City People versus Working Class Country Folks

    Middle Class life is totally different for city people compared to country folks.
    Country people were raised differently...with different cultures...language...food...way of life.
    It effects the way farmers think and what they believe, that is NOT the same as the homogenous mix in Canadian cities.
    And most importantly, it effects the way Canadians vote. It's not that different than the American experience.
