   In the past 30 years they’ve gotten big enough to move the market, not just trade it. A few million moves at a penny a piece adds up. The strong will dominate the weak when they can. Here they’ve done it and called it a free market. Free does not mean fair. Since we worship power and money, most just want to be in their shoes. Much safer than hitting a 7-11. Skim millions and its not even a crime. Win on the downside and the upside. Just tell them its the free market. Losses, just get the taxpayers to cover them.

   I’m an Eisenhower Republican. At age 62 I have no home. Conservatives are mean and liberals are gullible. Jefferson trusted the farmers - people who worked the land. As of the 2007 Ag Census, “Of the 2.2 million principal farm operators in the nation, 1.2 million report something other than farming as their primary occupation.” The total 2007 U.S. workforce was 153 million. Trust, but verify was not only for the Soviets. It should have been applied on Wall Street. The conservatives took credit for the economic growth, now want to be “moral” about bailing out the risk taking they encouraged with lack of oversight. The people who have turned Republican into a brand that can be used to game the country took away the party I first joined. We have small government for local issues, and medium government for state issues and big government for the big issues. We don’t need total government anymore than we need total religion or total commerce. Each institution needs to play the role human society needs so that we may have freedom. These institution are to serve we the people.
