12 year old skewers central banks

As much as I'd love to believe that a 12-year old girl came up with this all on her own, I just can't.

Awesome

Wonder how the Q and A session went

At least the dad was smart enough to realize that reading his own speech wouldn't garner as much attention as having his 12-year old daughter read it. Still pretty fucking weak.

Umm A 12 year old could definitely come up with that speech. There weren't any over analyzed statements and she clearly was not reciting it. Perhaps she is very largely influenced by her parents views, but that can be said about anyone.

Weak to insult a twelve year old aware of her financial reality, and sad on your part.

Most adults don't start their speeches with a list of question. Maybe a few, but not six "Have you ever wondered...?" Sure, she probably got help researching and writing from her parents/teachers, but that doesn't mean the speech isn't hers.

With the material out there post-crisis, I can believe a 12 year old did this. Nothing she did was novel research. A lot of this is firmly rooted in the anti-finance rhetoric of OWS. I am sure she could find a lot of this stuff just by browsing the internet.

She talks about banks "defrauding" the public. Sounds a bit like something you might have heard in Zucotti, right? A cab driver tried to debate me the other day, using the same points (but for the USA).
