Punchline:

******************************************EXCERPT******************************

Goldman-haters like to weave a narrative that connects the dots between Goldmanites and former Goldmanites who are supposed to rule the world in a one-degree-of-Goldman Sachs fashion.

What was that quote from the Rolling Stone article last week...??

“If the economy is circling the drain, Goldman Sachs will figure out a way to profit from being the pipe...”

Or words to that effect....

Considering that Goldman, Morgan Stanley and their alumni in government played a major role in creating the inferno on the first place, as far as I’m concerned, to some extent they are now getting insurance payments for fires they helped start.

We don’t want to “punish Goldman for having been right”, we want to punish them for manipulating the system for profit and stealing taxpayers money.

a small club, basically just Goldman and J.P. Morgan Chase -- that have been smart and greedy enough to succeed.

Smart??? Didn't Ayn Rand have a phrase "the aristocracy of pull"? Or to put it in terms of Chicago politics, the aristocracy of clout?

Well the Wash comPost can perfectly legally sell access to “non governmental” institutions like Goldman Sucks.

Goldman and J.P. Morgan are reaping great rewards as the last firms standing in a game in which everyone else has been cowed or crushed.

Goldman and J.P. Morgan executives have earned the same reward given to Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker.

The GOP needs to embrace Ron Paul and run against Goldman Sachs like the RATs ran against Halliburton. Join GS and the DNC at the hip and run against them as ONE enemy. We will sweep the 2010 elections.

“Resist The Urge To Punish Success”

RATS think NOT giving things to the poor is “punishing” them, yet they dont consider it punishment to take things away from people who earn it.

This article is such BS. Goldman Sachs, that branch of the DNC, made profit because they stole American taxpayer money. This is what we call crony capitalism.

1. This guy has friends or relatives @ GS hence he’s carrying water for them. A shill, a mouthpiece. That’s to be polite, I should call him a simple whore, but that would be insulting to whores who can and do provide pleasure, however transient. GS just screws America and doesn’t even bother asking if it was good for us, too.

2. If I got a few billion from the goobers, I could be highly successful too.

GS employees should be thankful they ain’t hanging from lamp posts or adorning the trees of Central Park.

Wake up and smell the stench that is the financial oligarchy ruling this country.

Goldman Sachs deserves every bit of ridicule they’re receiving. The only thing Taibi missed was the role of the Federal Reserve in starting this fascist mess.
