Goldman Sachs VP Changes Name, Goes To Work For Congressman To Block Regulation Of His Former Employer

I want to encourage readers to email me at the link provided on the front of the blog if there are stories out there you think might be of interest to other readers. 

This most recent story is sent by a good friend and reader.  In order to appreciate the substance of this most recent report by Think Progress, one might consider reading a prior article on Issa’s troubled past by The New Yorker.  The New Yorker story is incredibly disconcerting and almost unbelievable were it not based on investigated research.  Now this new story is equally disturbing and its implications need to be answered on behalf of society.   

Is this one citizen, one vote?  Or is this just an endless example of massive fraud in Washington?  We don’t have working markets because our government is pro-business.  One of our positions on here is that we are pro-markets and most clearly and incontrovertibly not pro-business.  These two positions are diametrically-opposed.  We don’t have jobs because our government is working on behalf of business to subvert working markets.  Pro-business is the antithesis of working markets.  Nazi Germany was pro-business.  Communist China is pro-business.  And fascist America is pro-business.

As Cheech and Chong, two of society’s greatest philosophers, once told us, “Looks like dog shit, smells like dog shit, feels like dog shit, tastes like dog shit. Must be dog shit.”.
