Goldman Sachs is profitable. I’m sure this has little to do with their political contributions, influential alumni, or second-hand relief from all risk associated with AIG, at US taxpayers’ expense.
That is why the government’s power must be limited: it’s a tool of manipulation which can only be wielded by the extremely wealthy, at everyone else’s expense. The problems are not limited to one evil company (as this recently popular article suggests) but rather is systemic and related to our entire government-economic superstructure. GS is just the best manipulator, but all the most successful companies are vampiric manipulators.
Important stuff, ya know?

This clearly explains how Golden Sachs owns America.

“If America is circling the drain, Goldman Sachs has found a way to be that drain — an extremely unfortunate loophole in the system of Western democratic capitalism, which never foresaw that in a society governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed always defeats disorganized democracy” –Matt Tiabbi from “The Great American Bubble Machine”
I can’t believe we helped scum bankers. Employees are making an average of $600,000 already at Goldman.
