The world’s top-earning hedge fund managers have bankrolled almost exclusively Democratic campaigns.
The top 10 highest-paid hedge fund managers in 2009 have dished out campaign contributions almost only to Democrats.
Over their lifetimes, those managers have given almost $33 million in campaign contributions to Democrats...
The same managers gave roughly $600,000 to Republicans... The contributions went 98 percent to Democrats and two percent to Republicans.
As the Senate prepares to debate possibly hundreds of amendments to a Wall Street overhaul bill, labor unions and others have criticized the bill for not having tough restrictions on hedge funds.
“It’s very disconcerting to see this legislation moving forward that gives them a complete pass,” said Heather Slavkin, of AFL-CIO.

Here’s a hint, Heather: more payola to corrupt Democrats, you’ve got a long way to go before you match the Bosses.
Pay for play!
This is another reason to dislike Hedge Funds and not trust their shyster owners:

Maybe OHAHA wants get rid of Wall Street so his hedge fund buddies will have no competition.
John Paulson is one such A-Hole.
Son-in-law “futures” ?

Dear Heather - think about it; the legislation moving forwartd is being moved by the Dims you supported and you voted into office. Think about changing your politics to supporting those who have ‘we the people’s’ interest at heart. Otherwise, just shut up and go away.
It's called "Friendly Pursuasion!!!" (Yes, I'm still boycotting Costco after their big contributions to the DNC in '04!!!)
Nice take, Dave.
CIRCA Sept 15, 2009 A SHOCKING DISPLAY OF OBAMA'S THIRST FOR POWER
FOX News' Judge Napolitano notes: if implemented, the unconstitutional proposals Obama urged in his Sept 2009 speech to Wall Street will amount to a final coup d’état by banksters, their technocrats and enforcers, at the Federal Reserve (*the privately-held bankster cartel that masquerades as a government agency).
Obama's "reforms" would install a dictatorial regulatory power controlled by international bankers over the entire US economy — down to the local grocer and hot dog vendor on the corner. It will control our lives down to the smallest detail. It will require us to ask permission for the most mundane and routine of financial transactions. IT MUST BE BE RESISTED AT ALL COSTS.
