I am willing to bet that the politicos, academics, and other self-styled "experts" who continue to deride Peter Schiff as a "kook," nonetheless follow his advice in making their own investment decisions. Like the elitists who want to ban gun ownership for ordinary people - while insisting upon it for important persons such as themselves - or who oppose private schools for others - but not for their own children - the institutionalization of the double standard is essential to members of the power structure.
