How is it you never hear prominent critics of Western materialism and capitalism defending the likes of Bernard Madoff with the exclamation, "It's Only Money!"?

The Nassau Guardian has learned that the NGC approved the request at the party's council meeting last Thursday. The leadership of the party has had the report in hand for nearly two years."
