Max Keiser: ‘Barack Obama is clueless. Mitt Romney will bankrupt the country’
Some call Max Keiser a ‘traitor’ but America’s most outrageous political pundit is about to become the most widely watched newscaster on the planet. Here, he explains why he won’t be voting in Tuesday’s US election.

A serf in the days of King John, Max Keiser argues, was in many ways better off than some US voters in 2012.
“Because in the age of Robin Hood,” Keiser says, “at least the process of theft was transparent. The barons came to your house. They whacked you over the head then they took all your money.” Even if the poor didn’t exactly empathise with their oppressors, Keiser adds, they could at least comprehend their methods. “And the serfs,” he continues, “did enjoy a modicum of stability. They got something in return for their enslavement. A small plot of land. Shelter. A relationship with the lord of the manor.” In the modern age of “financial tyranny” orchestrated by what Keiser refers to as “the banksters” in charge of the major financial institutions in the US and Europe, he believes, “We have reverted to a more pernicious kind of neo-feudalism. The instruments of larceny have changed; that’s all.”
