Ditto. Recently a book came out describing the profile of Wall Street bankers in New York city. Democrats will have you believe it is dominated by white Anglo Saxon Protestants Republicans, who believe in the conservative notion of small government and no regulation. That is far from the truth. Wall Street bankers want no regulations for finance except when it impacts small and medium size financial companies who can represent future competitors if they get a chance to grow. Big government is considered a useful tool when needed to eliminate competitors and barriers to their selfish goals. Wall Street already learned how to influence government via donations, lobbyists and infiltrating the Treasury and Federal Reserves with allies and seducing them with prospect of lucrative jobs on Wall Street for federal officials/reps upon retirement. More then half of the bankers are of Jewish descent. This is a critical social dimension to the Wall Street psyche. Jews always supported a strong central government because it represents a safety net against possible prosecution by the majority. The Holocaust adds legitimacy to this viewpoint of the world. When you have many CEO’s who come from a ethnic group that feels naked and unprotected without a large powerful government, a leadership tone is set on how the Wall Street elites view big central government and social issues. That is why Wall Street CEO’s will lean Democrat/RINO, liberal on social issues and support big government except if it affects their ability to make money.

Nothing is more important to big business these days than the ability to move all manner of jobs to the world's cheapest labor, then bring their output back to the US tariff free. And that means always having big government in their corner, and on the maximum contribution list.

Here is an article from 2007 to support some of the things I mentioned in #22. There are many such articles if anyone wants to Google: "outsourcing skilled jobs", or something similar.

High-skilled jobs in finance and medical research going to India, study shows

Only a nitwit or someone profiting off these practices would seriously contend that this is good for the US economy. The only job security in the US at present is performing a function that absolutely cannot be performed offshore.
