Amen! Some people think corporate behavior is pure free enterprise in action, but an oligarchy of elitists on boards of directors works to keep executive salaries ridiculously high, even when companies are stagnating or losing money. Also, boards nowadays have to be "diverse" and have token women or minorities, whether they are qualified or not.
The Demonrats are going to follow exactly the same strategy they did with 9/11. Because they control Congress, any investigative committees will exonerate the guilty Demonrats and blame the financial crisis on the innocent.

I would add "concentrating" power to that, but not as a blanket statement.
Granted, I work almost directly for some of the most powerful people in a mid-sized midwestern city, the patterns are the same where ever a board happens to be - there are those in power who don't give a darn who they step on to get ahead and then there are those who go out of their way to help others. And on each side they tend to congregate with each other, be on each other's boards, etc. These are the people they know (time to widen circles, IMO). Please, don't paint absolutely all wealthy and powerful people with the same brush because they are not all alike and there are some that are actually very generous and quite principled.
Gorelick, OTOH, belongs in federal prison for treason, stealing, etc., for the rest of her life after her assets are seized and used to help settle the debt she foisted on us.
