Senator Bernie Sanders,

The record profits made on Wall Street reported this week are an atrocity, offense and tragic mockery of our federal government and our national economy. The method in which these profits were made, as well as unfair advantages offered specifically to Goldman Sachs, demonstrates a failure of change on Wall Street.

Power brokers familiar with the revolving door between Washington and Wall St. are directly responsible for the financial crisis as well as the current jobless recovery. Key officials in the Federal Reserve and National Economic Council wink and nod to the managers of Goldman, their recent employer. Together, appointed officials and investment bankers shake hands in full daylight, assuring the media that all is well, while conspiring in the foreign language of finance few can understand.
