Too many of the big money Wall Street donors are motivated by the most narrow, selfish interest. The condition of the nation is of little concern to them, as long as they continue to thrive. That’s why so many of them had no problem supporting Obama. At the time, I had a hard time fathoming how any of them could support a candidate whose policies were so obviously going to be bad for the economy. Surely Wall Street was economically literate enough to see that. But the truth is, they didn’t care so long as they felt reasonably sure that they, personally, would be spared any of the pain.

The uber wealthy Wall Street types don't identify with an America that you and I hold dear. They are citizens of the world, and when they are cavorting with with their uber rich European friends, they don't want to be in a position of trying to defend concepts like liberty, American Exceptionalism and the American Dream.
