It is like as if in our national game of baseball any hit ball would be fair, no matter where it landed.
Or the Yankees could move the home run fence in whenever they were up to bat.
It isn't fair and we all know it. It's absurd and those who allowed it would clearly be nuts.
So when Glenn Beck says — as Frank Rich writes in his NY Times OpEd piece, Even Glenn Beck Is Right Twice a Day —
“Wall Street owns our government,” Beck declared in one rant this July. “Our government and these gigantic corporations have merged.” He drew a chart to dramatize the revolving door between Washington and Goldman Sachs in both the Hank Paulson and Timothy Geithner Treasury departments.
... he (Beck) strikes a chord in we the people over the absurd unfairness of the current and still evolving economics of corporationism.
And America was founded on the fairness of opportunity for all ... even if that initially meant all non-Irish Northern Europeans in many minds.
Geithner, Summers, and Bernake running the financial rules sector of the Federal government is like having Pete Rose, Mark McGwire, and Barry Bond on baseball's rules committee.
Get real. Should I laugh or cry?
