onyx1 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 ::) Here it comes! In 2012, I expect that PE firms and those employed by them will win the top spot on the "public enemies of the USA" list. Previous winners include: Health Insurance companies Oil companies Bank of America Goldman Sachs Wal-Mart Rich people S&P Corporate jet owners Koch brothers Did I miss anyone?
