[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 606201, member: 2189"] Hmmmm. Cap and Trade, this is Al Gore turf and the turf of people who stand as noble defenders of the poor and downtrodden against the vile and evil of mankind. Really? You Serious? Let's look closer shall we? Al Gore and [URL='http://www.generationim.com/'][COLOR=red]Generaton Investment Management[/COLOR][/URL], the world leader in making green not only profitable but sustainable and globally responsible or what has become known as sustainable capitalism, is leading the charge and at Al's side is one David Blood. Who is David Blood and how does he figure into all of this anyway? Let's look at a larger picture and then come back to Mr. Blood and the picture should explain itself. Let's start with Matt Taibbi who wrote the "Great American Bubble Machine" for Rolling Stone magazine earlier this year. As you cruise through the 5 pages at the buried link, you might take a few minutes to watch the enclosed video. In the case of Goldman Sachs and cap & trade, they are in position to mop up handsomely and to do so as the willing bride of the democrat party and it's regulatory apparatus. I'm certain even the most devoted devotee of statist power will champion the current cause as being the rightousness of the little guy against the big and powerful. Yet if one starts to word search, Goldman Sachs along with the likes of "Cap & Trade", "Global Warming", "CO2 Emmissions", etc. etc. a very nefarious picture begins to emerge. Oh, and it's not limited by any means to the current adminstraion or a single political party either as some might like to claim. Taibbi's work was so hardhitting and dead on that even the bombastic and so easy to just ignore Bill O Reilly did a piece on it and Bill just proves that no one is ever 1000% completely wrong. Hats off to Bill on this one. Now in fairness to Goldman Sachs, they did defend themselves via Reuters and Taibbi responded in kind. Also to say that Goldman Sachs hasn't pumped a lot of money into politics and not expecting an return on investment is like saying Haliburton and Blackwater went to Iraq out of a passion for patriotism! But now let's return to Big Al and one Mr. Blood. Seems Mr. Blood was not alone at GIM in regards to Goldman Sachs folks. Seems one, Mr. Paulson had his fingers in the pie as well. And there are suggestions that GIM also holds a stake in ownership of the Chicago Carbon Exchange but I'm holding that with a lot of salt for the time being. May be true but want more sources to confirm. Fact is, this issue of cap and trade is very hot, not hard to see flames when looking. This is nothing more that certain vested interests using gov't to create a monopoly marketplace and then to follow with the force of law to create a customer base that the regular folk and working Joe and Jane will have to work that much harder to pay for why a certain few profit big time. Democrats, democrat donors, democrats supporters, democrat icons creating and maintaining capitialist monopolies and enjoying massives profits! OH DO TELL! SAY IT AIN'T SO! AND NOT PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE! Al once said and was correct, "He played on our fears!" Gee Al, now looking at the facts I wonder where he learned it from?
