It's all Britain and Adam Smith's Fault.

Global Financial Crisis Blame Lies with Britain

October 23, 2008-The last few months have seen the global financial system slide into the worst crisis since the Great Depression. While many ¡(r)pundits¡¯ have sought to place the blame for these unfortunate circumstances on excessive greed amongst Wall Street brokers and poor regulatory policy in America¡¯s capital, acclaimed people¡¯s historian, voice of the American people and critically acclaimed author of The Evil Empire, Steven Grasse believes the root causes of the crisis lie on the other side of the great Atlantic Ocean in Britain. One must look no further than the face of the ¡Ì20 note and the banks of the River Thames to find those responsible.

To understand the current financial crisis Grasse says, we must first look to one Adam Smith, author of The Wealth of Nations, ¡(r)father of modern economics¡¯ and a Brit.
Once again, British hubris, greed and complete indifference towards other nations, races, and cultures has landed the world in a catastrophic predicament that will cost trillions of dollars to fix, and will destroy the lives of untold numbers of families the world over. In our tireless pursuit of justice, The International Coalition for British Reparations has decided to push for an additional ¡Ì3.2 trillion payment from the British Government to cover the initial round of government bailouts taking place all over the world. The ICBR plans on adding to this amount as the true cost of the meltdown reveals itself overtime.

This brings the current total of reparations owed to the citizens of the world by the British government to a staggering ¡Ì35,160,000,000,000.
