Goldman-Sachs doesn't want regulation, they're fighting it. That's why Wall Street investment firms wanted Romney to win, so the Republicans would get rid of the Frank-Dodd act that regulates Wall Street brokers and banks.
Regarding the statement they "back regulations that hurt most of their industry", Wal-Mart and GE are in different industries completely, as is Goldman-Sachs. I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. GE is a manufacturer, Wal-Mart is not. Wal-mart is a retailer. Goldman-Sachs is an investment house.
What are these regulations you say they are backing?
Yes, I'm aware they are parts of different industries. They're called examples.
Fighting is just for show. Nearly every administration has been full of GS employees, including Treasury Secretary. They write all the banking laws, both regulations and de-regulations. Dodd Frank was supposed to hurt banks, and it does hurt the small ones, but it was written by lobbyists for GS, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, and other "too big to fail" banks.
GE lobbied for the end of incandescent light bulbs, and for the Cap and Scam crap. Those are things that will hurt the industry, and kill the small ones who can't afford to change.
WalMart, lobbied for Obamacare and has been giving money to Obama and the DNC, despite being life long Republicans. They'll also benefit greatly from Dodd Frank.
Did you actually think you would have good health insurance given to you by the carnivals out of the goodness of their hearts?
Could you even afford ANY kind of health insurance on carnival pay?
I don't know about anyone else, but I never wanted insurance when I was out there. I was an agent, but I could have afforded to buy it on my own, had I any use for it. Even now as I got old and start dying, I still don't want it, but if I show enough income to rise above the poverty level, I'm going to be forced to blow a significant chunk of change on something I neither need nor want.
