"Why do you feel it necessary to defend a blatently corrupt corporation such as GS?"

What made you think that I was defending GS?

Jews and Christians believe that one should not serve as false witness even against a bad or immoral person: that is a violation of one of the Commandments, isn't it? GS may be full of sins but that does not give people the right to accuse them falsely of something they did not do. Punish them for their wrongs and nothing else.

What is happening instead is a witch hunt. Being leftist, newspapers entice envy and hatred against the "CEOs," the "rich," and Wall Street. And it appears to work, even among conservatives.

Do you have sufficient knowledge of finance and specific relevant facts to judge what's corrupt? Probably not: in the article being discussed there is not a shred of evidence of corruption; GS simply made a bet and won. And yet you are convinced that those actions constitute corruption.

"if they’re corrupt they will be the objective of my wrath"

Absolutely, I completely agree with you. But you wrath should be invoked for those actions that constitute corruption and NONE OTHER. The author of the article being discussed and many people on this board serve instead as false witness.

I hope this answers your question.

Unlike you, I’m not holding my breath for the justice department to investigate the near sole source of government officials at the highest levels in our government.
