If you don't want to print about $2T to save the institutions that are the source of finance and capital that have made America Great then you are a communist. Why I bet you really resent all the folks at Goldman Sachs who work their butts off trying to save our country. Why shouldn't they be paid enormous bonuses out of bailout money. Why not? Really. Do you know how hard they work? Do you know who smart you have to be to understand modern finance? You probably think that it is all a stupid mess. That is because you are dumb and don't work hard and just don't understand the rules of high finance where you make bets on bets on bets on mortgages where no one pays off a dime of principal expecting to get rich on appreciation.
And you just resent it. I'll say it again. You are nothing but a wealth hating communist. Now come on, let the really smart folks print a bunch of money and give it to other smart folks so America can be great again and just shut up. Please. It's for your own good.

At first I thought this post was satire, but on second read it looks like it's sincere.

Sounds sarcastic but it also sounds like our buddy Jason, that is what you are thinking.

It is satire, but it is also a lying smear.

Goldman did not pay anyone's bonuses with bailout money. They have already repaid all bailout money they received, with a 23% annual rate of return to the US treasury.

When a man objects to a banker making money not because it comes at his own expense, but despite the fact that it pays him, then yes he is a communist - in the sense that he has bought and is regurgitating the same class war bilge they live on.

There is nothing wrong with Goldman making money, it does not pick you pocket or break your nose, and everyone pretending otherwise is pretending. And a useful idiot, at best, for class warfare ideologues.
