AMERICANS should boycott the stock market. No, I'm not kidding. And this isn't going to be one of those funny columns. In fact, I'm deadly serious that investors shouldn't risk any more of their money until there are promises of a thorough investigation of Goldman Sachs. Over the past few years I've looked into the much-too-cozy relationship between Goldman and Washington. I've suspected that this Wall Street firm has been acting, in essence, as an arm of the government. And I am also pretty sure that if Goldman and Washington have something secret going on, the investment firm isn't doing it for altruistic reasons. There's money to be made. In 2007 I reported in this column that Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson let the cat out of the bag when he confessed on a cable TV show that it was "my job to talk regularly to market participants . . ." Paulson had been the chairman of Goldman right before taking the job as head of Treasury.
