Human spirits are amputated, vaulting careers, and dreams are massacred with the evil practices of the moneymaking schemes of the few. They are Sam Walker, Bernard Ebard (At&T) CitiBank Chiefs, Wachovia head hanchos, Leona Helmsely Bernie Madoff, and now Goldman Sachs.
Read this with eyes of your heart and soul. When a centipede gets into the brain through the ear, and sits on top of the cerebrum (Brain). This predator than pokes all his segments in to the soft tissue of the brain, and wont let it go! Reader, I ask you to edit this article your way, and read it again. You can’t remove the centipede, because it is clinging to the brain. Almighty the God Bless us all, from the ‘jaws of this monster.

I saw nothing in Matt’s article that hasn’t been reported in the mainstream press spoken in the halls of Congress. The collusion between Goldman Sachs and their various associates at Treasury is unholy enough. The laddering of tech stocks is certainly true. The exemption they received on oil futures and the Lehman Brothers issues are a matter of public record. Matt may use some creative writing to describe these people, but the fact or intact. If they are not, the Goldman Sachs sue Rolling Stone for libel – Matt outright accuses them of securities fraud. If they are, the goverment should procecute. Outside of that, all our words and opinions are really just worthless.

One fact for sure. These chareletons just posted the record profits on taxed borrowed from people, many of which no longer have a job or house becaue the action of Goldman Sachs, AIG, et al.

GS become a force for the good. And hell will freeze over, too. This is a soulless entity whose only aim is gigantic profits, even if they are profits taken directly from the taxpayer’s pocket.

What are you thinking? The Fed being a systemic risk regulator? They’re in Bed with GS and have paved the way for them to take over the government.

This all started in 1913 with credit manipulation ala the Federal Reserve.

BTW. What is this about GS having “market manipulation” software?

“Don’t purchase items you cant afford and save for a rainy day”. If the American consumer followed that simple saying Goldman or any other investment bank would not have been in a position to gain from last years economic collapse nor any other time in history. http://www.voicedup.com/?p=682

It was excellent reporting by Matt Taibbi – the kind of investigative journalism that is not often seen. Well done Matt and keep up the good work.

These parasitic evil trolls (bankers) should be hung or shot on sight. These people are greedy beyond all reasonable limits, power mad and should be put down for the sake of humanity.

Don’t forget that at the end of the Rolling Stone article, Taibbi calls cap-and-trade for what it is: A non-existent market that will be the next bubble. Cap-and-trade is a scam worth trillions.

Our best hope is that someone,Elliot Spitzer, gets their teeth into the scumbags from Goldman Sachs.They life to make money and think,and maybe rightfully,that they run the world.Obama seems to work well with them,which points to his lck of integrity.Hillary should have been “the one” insrtead of this weak kneed suck up.Has the primaries been concucted as the election was,she would have won decidedly.

BAIL, BAIL, BAIL (the Men of Goldman Sachs)
(Beer, Beer, Beer (Charlie Mochs) Irish drinking song)
WilliamBanzai7

Sing along Laddies and Lassies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9G-Np1HB 9M

1,2,3 Bail, Bail, Bail

A long time ago, way back in Bailout history,
When the best game in town was was schtupping AIG,
A long came a bank by the name of Goldmen Sachs,
And they invented a wonderful drink, and they made it out of subprime schlock.

Chorus:
Hey! they must have been bailout criminals, subprime sultans and/or PONZI kings,
And for them praise those busted bankers shall always sing;
Look at what they’ve done for us, they’ve filled Uncle Sam up with bailout beer,
Lord, bless those men of Goldman Sachs who invented…
Bailout Beer Beer Beer taxpayer Bail, Bail, Bail…

The Goldman pub, the Wall Street Inn, the AIG black hole in the wall as well
One thing you can be sure of, it’s Hank Paulsen’s bailout beer they sell;
So all you busted bailed out bankers, at eleven o’clock you stop,
For five short seconds, remember the men of Goldman Sachs!

One… two… three… four… five…

Repeat Chorus

A busted hedge, a barrel of toxic asset slop, stir it around with a stick,
Just the type of lubrication to make your networth sink;
Another trillion dollars of TARP wallop will keep alive those bailout hacks,
It’s only eighty cents halpenny a pint, but a trillion more in tax.

One… two… three… four… five…

Hey! they must have been bailout criminals, subprime sultans and/or PONZI kings,
And for them praise those busted bankers shall always sing;
Look at what they’ve done for us, they’ve filled Uncle Sam up with bailout beer,
Lord, bless those men of Goldman Sachs who invented…
Bailout Beer Beer Beer taxpayer Bail, Bail, Bail…

The men of Goldman Sox!
