On this glorious day celebrating Obama’s exodus to Copenhagen to auction off as much of America’s wealth as he can to the highest global bidder, I thought I’d break down the story of “Cap & Tax.”

If you don’t know who George Soros is, you need to. He’s one of the richest men in the world. He’s also the figurehead of the environmental, go-green movement, a huge tree hugger. He was the founder of Center for American Progress. There are multiple off shoots, most of them political activist groups, such great organizations as MOVEON.org. Heard of them? THEY GOT BARACK OBAMA ELECTED. And how about the Secretary Of State Project? This is a group he funds to ensure that liberals are seated in the most powerful position to support his VOTER FRAUD AGENDA. Surprising, right? Not so much.

Just on the heels of Obama(S)care will be the much talked about “Cap & Trade,” lovingly known to us fiscal conservatives as Cap & Tax-the-Crap-Out-Of-Americans.

The ADL is accusing the New York Times‘ Maureen Dowd of anti-semitism over a recent op-ed titled “Virtuous Bankers? Really!?!”   The article is about corruption on Wall Street specifically involving Goldman Sachs. In a letter to the Editor in the NYT, ADL National Chair Robert G. Sugarman stated, “While one can agree or disagree with Maureen Dowd’s portrayal of Goldman Sachs and other bankers (column, Nov. 11), her statement that “the bankers who took government money and then gave out obscene bonuses are the same self-interested sorts Jesus threw out of the temple” potentially raises one of the classic themes of anti-Semitism linking Jews and abhorrent money-lending practices. However unintentional, Ms. Dowd’s invoking the New Testament story to illustrate our current financial mess conjures up old prejudices against Jews.”

President Obama recently re-nominated Ben Bernanke to another four year term as Chairman of the Powerful and Secretive Federal Reserve. Bernanke was appointed by President Bush in 2006 to replace Alan Greenspan. Bernanke has greatly expanded the powers of the Federal Reserve and orchestrated the bailouts of private financial institutions by the Fed. Bernanke has asked the President for even greater powers to regulate the economy. Under the president’s plan the Fed will be granted a greater role as a moneylender to private banks.

Bloomberg reports that “Wall Street Sets Campaign on ‘Populist Overreaction.’”  The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association has set out a PR campaign headed by Former Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson who oversaw the bank bailouts under President Bush. Their plan is to target media figures and institutions to try to stifle the growing sentiment against Wall Street due to the financial crisis and bank bailouts. “SIFMA represents about 600 securities firms, brokerages and asset-management companies. It counts among its members the biggest U.S. banks, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co.”

Forty years ago, a GM Chairman famously said that “what is good for GM is good for America.”

Now, perhaps, our Treasury Secretary is saying “what is good for Goldman Sachs (the bailout) is good for America.” Of course such universal statements are easily found to be untrue, but we should examine briefly a few related issues as viewed by economic science.
