What a weak and pathetic statement. You sir, are an anti-corporate tool.
Occupy Wall Street is a joke, for us its business as usual.
All your pathetic rioting means nothing.
Keep protesting in the dirty, police-ridden streets, we'll keep raking in these unprecedented profits from the safety of our highrises.
After all its the mass tax-paying suckers like you who pay for our calculated risks, so if you make a mistake, the IRS sends you to jail, if we a make mistake, we get paid ca$h!
Timothy Geithner and Ben Bernanke should be in jail for their crimes..these two are economic terrorist ..as Treasury Secretary Geithner he should be working for the benefit of the country not the benefit of the wealthy owners of the banks and other financial institutions...all the risk taking on these speculations need to be put to an end..the financial institutions need to be regulated and broken up
Too big too fail is a myth promoted to absorb and dissipate the anger of the American public. These big banks should have been allowed to fail and the bankers who screwed up made to carry responsibility for their fuck up.
Wall street does'nt refer to us as tax payers but, slaves. The idea is to raise the tax rate to 90% and subsides our basic needs back to us, in the form of health care, food, coupons for gas. Soon all utilities will have to be paid up front. Pension funds will be used as a source of funds for the goverment,
No, the Democratic Socialists of America are definitely a movement apart from Obama, who is more of a Clinton Democrat. Visit their website to have a look at their issues.
@stonerj0e after all the bending over for big business and going after all the unions the way he has only the biggest douche could still think obama is a socialist.
Well, I think I am well placed to share some information on you. I have seen it all before - and yes, it stinks. Congress in most "democratic' countries today act like the ancient Monarchies, they have too much power and they misuse it in order make its members more and more rich.
I am a Brazilian living as a permanent resident in Canada. I used to think that the political system in America was a lot less rigged than it is in South America.
Citi's Rubin hired Geithner from Kissinger Assoc, to T. G. then worked for Peterson of Blackstone who chaired NY Fed Board. Rubin worked for Pet. at the CFR, as did Hills and Cohen, who were on AIG's board, then working for Greenberg Ctr at the CFR. Rubin-Geithr-Peters ,more an intell op than a busin. corruption issue, espec when GS board is tied closely to BP-Shell Euro oil cartel. Taibbi covers this up by making GS. the top of the hierarchy, ignoring foreign oil, intell ties(Atl,Ptner.-CFR).
@Mottahead The same people who rig the political system in South America are in fact the same people who rig the political system in the United States. Matter of fact, they are largely from the United States.
Removing those comments was a step in the right direction and you have further to go. There's no pride in being right and no shame in being wrong so long as we move closer to the light.
theagent9, the good people that count, care about the economic future of our children, take a stand against corrupt banks, oppose tyranny have no use for racism and cowardly racist remarks. You're not one of the patriots. You're not one of the good guys. You should renounce your racism for your own good because it will rot your soul. You're your own worst enemy. You CAN repent of antisemitism and start over again. It's better for you. It's the right thing to do.
Hey jackass renounce murder While you're being so benevolent they are using a massive amount of racism and murder to crush our desire to simply live a calm and productive life And it's not racism in "my soul" that will rot its the constant attacks on peace in every corner of the world that will do that. Maybe there are many events you aren't aware of their hand in: Slavery, Napoleon, War of 1812, Civil War, Russian Revol. WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, poverty, AIDS etc. All the work of one clique
A gun to the head in a store, a hack into an account from afar, knowledge and implementation of law loopholes, all them are criminals and all should be judged harshly for their thefts. Corporate crimes have harmed and killed more humans than all wars combined.
Everyone in the positions who had the control keep saying it but do nothing to stop, people wake the fuck up!
There using are money and consolidation everything against us.. .. We are turning into a failed Empire of Byzantine, Germany, Argentina, China pre red army.
Although the mechanisms were complex, the actual act and motivation behind it isn't. We've seen this story played out through time, however in this case, we weren't watching and now we're paying the price for that now.
Forget the AIG bonuses, America has to - in the words of the 'hood, "chalk that up to the game". Chances are most of that money's gone. We have to find the flaw, fix it and move on.

Geithner shares our anger, i doubt it. Corporations commit crimes they pay fines as no one individual can be identified. Individuals go to jail!!!!!!
