In Defense of Wall Street

Pity Wall Street. The democratic party’s presidential candidates have painted a bullseye on its back. Bernie Sanders wants, in effect, to nationalize Wall Street. Hillary Clinton joins in the anti-Wall Street feeding frenzy lest her and her husband’s ties to Goldman Sachs and other institutions become a bigger issue.

Wall Street bankers are widely portrayed as evil parasites, feeding their greed through speculation that serves no good other than to line unsavory pockets, and buying off politicians with campaign contributions and lucrative speaking fees. ``One percent’’ Wall Streeters are said to be getting mega-rich while everyone else suffers.


Republican candidates fear to come to Wall Street’s defense.  Any positive words about Wall Street will end up as a negative sound bite come election time. During the occupy Wall Street riots, I do not recall one political voice speaking up for Wall Street against the tirades of hooligan protesters.

  1. MUST READ: HOW I GOT BACK MY WIFE AFTER SEPERATION
    I was really missing my wife when she left me for someone else. I was weak to take care of some situations and i let her slip my arms. I had to talk to my partner at the office who recently got her husband back. She told me to get in touch with John Patience who helped her get her husband back with a love spell. I was very sure of this because Malaa has helped my partner get her husband back. So i called john Patience and told him i lost my lover and wanted her back. He encouraged me and told me to be happy. He did his thing and told me my wife will be back in 45 hours. I waited for that time and my wife called me and told me that she has forgiven me and ready to take me back in her life. Since then, my wife and i have been enjoying our marriage with our lovely 4 kids. I am very grateful to John for what he has done for me. I'd advice you to ask him for help if you have any problem on your relationship and some other aspects of life.His email is bestlovedoctor01@gmail.com :)
