    Then what do you call the trillion dollar bailout of the banking system if it is not political support? Are you saying that the billions in bonuses are due to hard work and a level playing field? What crap that the wealthy don't have political support.

    How about the "wealthy" that don't work at Goldman Sachs? There are productive people that don't work on Wall Street. In fact I'd say all the real producers work outside of Wall Street banks.
