This quote could have come from anyone on the right, perhaps extreme right:
“As every student of American history knows, this country’s core founding principles included nonpunitive taxation, constitutionally guaranteed protections against persecution of the minority and an inexorable right of self-determination,” he wrote. “Washington has taken actions over the past months, like the Goldman suit that seem designed to fracture the populace by pulling capital and power from the hands of some and putting it in the hands of others.”
It did not come from a conservative. It came from one of Obama’s biggest supporters, or at least former supporters, Daniel S. Loeb, the hedge fund manager.
Andrew Ross Sorkin of the NY Times provided the quote in Why Wall Street is Deserting Obama.
The article is another example of “buyers remorse” with respect to President Obama. Wall Street, of course, has substantial skin in the game that is affected by the recent monstrosity of a FinReg bill.
