Government’s fault - not Wall Street’s fault.

How can you tell where one ends and the other begins?

Exactly. I would argue that we are currently living under a fascist system -- it's a leftwing system, based on collectivism, and it means that the lines between busienss and government are blurred.

Eisenhower talked about the "military-industrial complex" and people thought it only applied the Defense Industries. I say the warning is relevant to Archer Daniels Midland, GE, and Goldman Sachs, just as much as any Defense firm.

The original Progressives started us down this path, Woodrow Wilson kicked it into high gear, FDR, LBJ, Bill Clinton, and Obama have merely been kicking the ball down the field. American big business today has very little to do with capitalism, and a whole lot to do with Big Government.
