I've been speaking to @BarackObama about the situation in Ukraine. We are united in condemnation of Russia's actions. pic.twitter.com/7Rk2k8iOIK

When UK Prime Minister David Cameron posted on Twitter a photo of himself talking on the phone to President Barack Obama about the tense situation in Ukraine and looking super serious doing so, he inadvertently started a chain reaction of parody photos.
Comedian Rob Delaney jumped in:

I'm rather attached to a non-nuclear wasteland
The National Center for Policy Analysis is not a "conservative think tank".
Its funders -- P&G, ExxonMobil, Scaife, Lilly -- are its message. Its board and staff are not only a who's who of the GOP, but of other conservative think tanks and front groups as well -- Hudson, Hoover, Heartland, etc.
A couple of minutes of googling comes up with enough evidence to convince anyone who could be convinced with evidence.

Or is it just assumed in your post that conservatives and industry are just evil and spread false information for their own profit? Go take a long walk off a short pier, comrade...
So-called "saving" is a bad idea in most cases as it is better for people or businesses on any income level to plow a healthy percentage of profits back into investment, research and development. Any corporation or wealthy individual who has been around long enough and succeeded has done this as a matter of course.
The article and this discussion leaves aside the whole point about taxes and government intervention (read: profiteering) in financial transactions between entities.
Hope you learn to speak Mandarin - they're going to own us soon the way we're going.
