"I want to keep what I earn" is considered greedy and inhumane.

"I want to take what you have" is considered selfless and progressive.

Who do you think got the 187 billion given to AIG. Surely you don't think it was AIG.

You are looking at the 10 billion crumbs when the 9 trillion dollar cakes is being gobbled out the back
GS have paid back that money plus. So they are still giving, in other words people should be hoping for more Goldman Sachs and less Fannie Mae.

Now you're on the trolly.

Also important to note:

When I say thing which are untrue - I'm making a debatable point.
When you say thing which are untrue - You are telling lies.

I must credit Don Boudreaux for that line. All of his letters to the editor are pure gold.

Default Goldman Sachs are C U Next Tuesdays

This is a thread for people to vent their spleens at this Luciferian organisation. I notice people who hate GS back it up with links to articles and news videos on the other extremely annoying 2 threads.

Those who think they do "God's Work" please back it up with indepth analytic articles and please explain to me how Fiat Currency, Fractional Reserve Banking and derivatives have made 21st century finance a joy to behold.

Goldman Sachs are C U Next Tuesdays

Luciferian? As for your links, not one of them has credibility or is from a reputable source.

Are you aware of the carnage Collaterialised Debt Obligations and Credit Default Swaps have caused?

What is credible or reputable then? The same sources that said 10 years ago that there could never be another bust, recession or depression? The same sources that said the credit crunch was over 2 years ago?

How about Jim Cramer on CNBC telling us Bear Stearns are perfectly fine?

I listen to the weathermen that have been outside.
