Goldman at the center of cap and trade

Today's American Thinker has a article detailing several suspicious links in the chain of events that led to the current economic downturn in Will Dems allow Goldman to manipulate cap-and-trade market? Goldman Sachs, and its employees need to be scrutinized hard for a number of coincidences which all seem to have Goldman coming up...well...golden while other seem to be suffering. Could it be that Goldman, rather like casino owners, stacks the game in its favor? More to the point, does it use the Government to do its bidding? It is an interesting coincidence that many of our recent Treasury Secretaries have come from this firm. It is also interesting that Goldman employees gave so much money to the Democrats, particularly "The One." Would Democrats deliberately pass legislation that would harm so many Americans, people who voted for them, to pay off one firm?

Casino owners, as private businesses, are entitled to ensure they make a profit. After all, no one forces anybody to go in and gamble. If you choose to do so, you should know that the odds of winning are, over time, with the house. But if it is something you enjoy doing, and can afford it, then go ahead. Cap-and-trade on the other hand, will not be something you can choose to engage in or to opt out of. The prices of any energy source will already have cap-and-trade built in. This must be stopped.
