What if these positions in the financial sector were held by members of the Muslim community instead of members of the Jewish community?
Also, you’d think that with all of these brilliant and talented indiviuals hard at work on the economythat the US wouldn’t in the financial mess that they’re in right now.
Do you’d think it would raise a few eyebrows?

double bigotry!
Most people would tell you that as loyal Americans we believe in the US Constitution which says in Article VI
“The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
In other-words we don’t disqualify people from holding positions of public trust based on their religious beliefs because it is directly prohibited in the Constitution and frankly it wouldn’t be right.
