Subsidizing Compulsive Gamblers Wall Street's Wall Street doesn't call it gambling. To them it's speculation With some other sucker's money – a public spirited donation. They've shown that it's impossible for geniuses to lose – With friends in the right places their addiction's not to booze. As gamblers they're anonymous with no intent to quit. Lloyd Blankfein, the philanthropist, has them champing at the bit For ever greater leverage to have that much more to give After screening all their winnings through an ever finer sieve. But is subsidizing these guys fair if we're not subsidizing Trump? Aren't gamblers all born equal? Why's one a champ and one a chump? Why leave it up to Goldman's bankers on Obama's team? Where's Obama's sense of fairness? Where's Obama's self-esteem?
