Don't Blame Wall Street -- The Government Did It!

[Grames]

Since Goldman Sachs has set government economic policy in both the Bush and Obama administrations, the distinction being made between government versus Wall St. is no longer a relevant distinction. Welcome to fascism.

[Thomas M. Miovas Jr.]

Since these companies in bed with the government are not themselves part of government, but are more advisers, yes they can win out (in the short run) via government policies they help to set. However, there is still force being used against everyone else who may disagree with those policies, and the taxpayer who doesn't have much of a choice about where their tax payments are going; not to speak to the fact that each time the government bails out someone they tend to flood the market with printed dollars, making everyone pay the cost through inflation.
