David Weidner provides a valuable public service in his insightful fictional account of Warren Buffett’s creeping (moral) blindness. Making billions — tick, tick, tick — by sleeping with the enemy is no American ideal. Seeking to prosper justly in ways constructive to the nation’s sustainable well-being and economic independence is a laudable ideal — an ideal that Buffett, perhaps, is forgetting as he tries to explain away some of Wall Street’s sins.

We are long overdue for a national town hall meeting on Goldman Sachs — with or without Goldman executives. Wealthy Wall Street elites take for granted a dragon-like right to trample the vast working public. Their right claim is based upon the notion that capitalism gives the massively monied the privilege of shaping financial laws. Injustice to these people means not getting their own way at the expense of nonaligned others. A national town hall is needed to challenge, overcome and replace these distortions of capitalism.
