That is very basic and true game theory. There is little benefit for standing up and thus out, and great risk. We used to call that character, honor, bravery, principal. I’m afraid we are long since in a more pragmatic time. I’m unaware of any person of wealth taking on Obama, and the thug(ish) Democrats, unless they want a visit from Union officials, Jesse Jackson, ACORN, or true believer lawyers in any of the hydra headed agencies that eat us out of house and home. I would imagine a financial firm could be put out of business by costs/fees of a ‘routine inspection’ by a Federal agency, or two.( basically, you have no rights if you can not afford it, or if the defense of it destroys you. Which is were we are today.)
American Jews have really come to the forefront of many institutions and have strongly supported the Democrat party.
Mass citizens, already stereotyping Jews and money, will also notice the prominence of Jewish names in the Obama administration. Geithner, Rahm Emanuel, Larry Summers, along with key debt financial players like Goldman Sacs, Madoff, etc. And, as I once pointed out, three Jewish lawyers Obama sent to run Detroit, and so on.
As a minor student of history I can not but be worried about the easy connections.
We have a population that has proven its self gullible about socialism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Obama, Global Warming, UFO’s, ect.
We have one party already in control of the schools, the universities, cultural elite, Hollywood, publishing, and the MSM.
All the pieces are laying on the ground for scapegoating .
My bet is that this whole ponzi economy continues to slide. I don’t have a good feeling, and it is only that, about how things are drifting about.
