Dave, I'm afraid we are surrounded by Wall Street.
*Did you know that if elected president Donald Trump will nominate
former Goldman Sachs banker**
**Steve Mnuchin for U.S. Treasury Secretary?**
****
**Earlier this year, the 53-year-old Mnuchin joined Donald Trump’s
campaign as national finance chairman. **
****
**Believe it or not, Mnuchin was a former Clinton donor.*
*Mnuchin, who is a former donor to Hillary Clinton, spent 17 years with
Goldman Sachs, where his father **
**also had been a prominent executive. He later worked with investment
groups affiliated with George Soros, **
**including as chairman of controversial mortgage lender OneWest Bank
Group (which would later be acquired by CIT Group). *
He also has spent time as both an art dealer and film producer.
Mnuchin's association with “vampire squid” Goldman Sachs has motivated
some anger. But another part of Mnuchin’s history
is more relevant: his chairmanship of OneWest Bank, a major cog in
America’s relentless foreclosure machine.
Even among the many bad actors in the national foreclosure crisis,
OneWest stood out. It routinely jumped to foreclosure rather
than pursue options to keep borrowers in their homes; used fabricated
and “robo-signed” documents to secure the evictions;
and had a particular talent for dispossessing the homes of senior
citizens and people of color.
There is more but "former Goldman Sachs banker was enough for me.

Trump is correct, the Republican Party has been taken over by those in league

Those type off Republicans stand in the way of giving people some sort of
power, they're more or less Democrats anyway.
