the Hidden Relationship between<br />

Wall street and Washington<br />

for decades, most people have assumed that the corner offices on Wall street<br />

are full of wealthy Republicans who lobby for low taxes and deregulation—<br />

while the Democrats, as defenders of the little guy, are the enemy of Goldman<br />

sachs, morgan stanley, and their ilk.<br />

but as top investigative reporter charles Gasparino proves, the truth is more<br />

complicated, and a lot more disturbing. When you get past their blustering<br />

public statements, leading Wall street executives have long been some of the<br />

biggest donors to liberal politicians, including barack obama in 2008. the fat<br />

cats know that the bigger big Government gets, the more business will trickle<br />

down to them. and they know that many of the Democrats’ calls for tough<br />

financial reform are just hot air, to pacify their left-wing base while maintaining<br />

the status quo.<br />

the reality? obama and the Democrats in congress have been bought and<br />

paid for by the same bad guys who wrecked the economy. the big banks are<br />

still allowed to make a killing from shady practices. meanwhile, the burden of<br />

higher taxes and regulations will fall on small business—the true engine of our<br />

economic growth—and on ordinary, hard-working, middle-class americans.<br />

“An astonishing exposé.” —The Daily Beast<br />
