Indeed, for the financial industry, the appeal of Paulson’s proposal is precisely that it taxes the many and benefits the few. Since the many (taxpayers) are dispersed, we cannot put up a good fight in the US Congress, whereas the financial industry is well represented politically.
事实上，对金融业来说，保尔森的建议吸引人的地方其实是它用征税来的钱为少数人谋利益。由于多数人（纳税人）是分散的，他们不能在美国国会进行抗争，而金融业却在政治上有很大势力。过去13年里的6年里，财政部长是一直是高盛出来的人担任的。
