Excellent. So we agree that Wall Street and other big sectors of the economy are buying government so they get what they want, right?
Of course, look at "Green Energy" and all the bullshit they've produced from the money Obama has given them. Look at the IPO's of companies like Solyndra and how the corrupt congress men & women can buy up those before it goes public, sell it off when they know it's a house of cards and line their pockets and who gets screwed? The taxpayers, the idealistic liberals who think they can end dependency on oil, and people who invest in companies and want to make money.

Look at the UAW and the deal struck for them by the Democrats which shafted people who owned bonds from GM, that was criminal. In a managed bankruptcy the bond holders would have been the FIRST people paid, but nah those guys are "the evil rich", it's much better to hand the company over to the Union that put it in dire financial straits to begin with.


But I suppose you were looking for something that didn't cast such a bad light on Obama and your fellow liberals.
