Default Re: The Goldman Sachs Conspiracy

I'm very conflicted! I like laissez faire capitalism...and the constitutional political system in the U.S. But it seems to be very, very corrupt. Campaign contributions are an expression of free speech. But corrupt business people tend to make a lot of money...and then make a lot of campaign contributions. This wins them access and favors which honest business people and 'little' people can't get. If you are rich...you can even get away with murder. Ask OJ. Somehow, there needs to be a much better system of refereeing, and for enforcing the rules. Success in Washington D.C. and in any courtroom in America should not be determined by how much money one has. Every idea and case should be weighed and judged on it's merits...not by how much money is being passed under the table, or contributed to a campaign. Again, the rules need to be refined and sharpened...and the referees need to be placed on steroids. Then...a lot of people need to be fired, voted out of office, sent to prison, etc, etc. I hope someone is taking very careful notes of all the bs that's going on right now. I do know that there are unseen observers who don't miss a thing.
Crime will not pay on judgment day. 2012?
