Maybe they don't compare with the late Ralph Ginzburg (Money$Worth), but their influence is harmful, even dangerous. How do we get PBS to take them off the air? I hope more people are seeing through their nonsense - same goes for Trump.

He said the key word was "Why". The reason for this is that Trump believes that in the 21st century USA, there is no middle class - just the rich and the poor. The consequence of not being rich is to be poor, and by no means should one be poor. Trump's view on the death of the middle class was not brought out in Mr. Clements's review, and it should have been. Mr Trump says that the traditional middle class notion of getting ahead by working hard, living below your means, and investing through mutual funds is passe.
