However much you might hate him, he's right. Politicians are powerless, the markets do rule the world and if you're prepared to be ruthless you can make a lot of money during a market crash. That's just the world we live in. I'm kinda ambivalent about it. On one hand, destroying economies to make yourself rich is a little callous. On the other hand, we all have to do whatever we have to to survive and / or prosper. Especially when the only alternative seems to be bending over for your useless government's "austerity" measures.
