Taking Care Of Their Own It pays to be an oligarch Goldman says esprit de corps. Others say unlawful. For many but Wall Street's elite Tim's plans are downright awful. Give the banks a break? (He let them get too big to fail.) Maybe breaks for smaller pieces so the better ones prevail? Let gambles by the Lewises and O'Neals disintegrate. Their tails between their legs is a sight we'd celebrate. Who are our governmental oligarchs beholden to? Their former Goldman Sachs cohorts instead of me and you? That isn't right. You know it. The fix is in for friends: Kowtow to their demands till Goldman's oligarchy lends? Scuttle mark-to-market? It makes it hard to hide their losses. Remember Wall Street's oligarchs will always be their bosses, Till Madoff heads a task force that bids oligarchs adieu. Their stench is overwhelming: They'll share his room without a view.
