"Goldman Sachs is not afraid of the government, because they are the government"

Great line from Michael Moore (being interviewed right now on the uber-moderate MSNBC).

So true.

Grafting and grifting is enshrined in the US political system, bankers have infiltrated the whole rotten system. As we say over here, when they have you by the short and curlies, your heart and mind is sure to follow.

That's exactly what Moore was talking about.

People think he's some sort of party hack, but he wasn't differentiating - he was slamming Clinton, Bush & Obama for how beholden they were to corporations & Wall Street.

If most people could take their partisan blinders off, they'd see it's not specific to one party. It's our gov't.

Honestly - you don't watch him, then. He is a true believer leftist. For the most part, he's been disgusted with the Democrats.

He has much more of a Nader worldview - both parties are essentially morphing.

So you're agreeing with him, I take it......you think its such a great line.

Hes essentially saying the left (Democrats) is far enough left for him (or you) or Apple from what I get from this post of his.....

i'm confused. during the much deliberated health care reform, and for a long time afterwards, it was told to us by most liberals that WE were the government. So how is it that goldman sachs is the government? are we goldman sachs now?

Acting purposefully ignorant does not suit your moniker very well.

Unknown - I have never personally felt that WE were the gov't...
