As I see it, finance is a church: a hierarchical institution that claims power over the spirit. The state is a hierarchical institution that claims power over the body. When spiritual coercion of the individual proves ineffective, finance (exerting its power over the collective spirit) directs the state to use physical coercion. So finance is clearly the official religion of the state. The first amendment forbids the establishment of a state religion, and for all the right reasons, as now so clearly demonstrated by the corrupting power of finance over the state. How about we challenge this power on these constitutional grounds?

The bond market, starting with Clinton, if not earlier was accepted as God. Hence Goldman Sachs appointees to positions of power, hence bailouts, hence so many trends that disfavor losers like us. Well, we get what we deserve.
