A Wake-up Call to Every One Who Hates What Big Finance and Big Government are Doing to our Country
For decades, most people have assumed that the corner offices on Wall Street are full of wealthy Republicans who lobby for low taxes and deregulation-while the Democrats, as defenders of the little guy, are the enemy of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and their ilk.
But as top investigative reporter Charles Gasparino proves, the truth is more complicated, and a lot more disturbing. When you get past their blustering public statements, leading Wall Street executives have long been some of the biggest donors to liberal politicians. The fat cats known that the bigger Government gets, the more businesses will trickle down to them. And they know that many of the Democrats' calls for tought financial reform are just hot air, to pacify their left-wing base while maintaining the status quo.
The reality? Obama and the Democrats in Congress have been bought and paid for by the same bad guys who wrecked the economy.
