GRITtv: Matt Taibbi & Michael Lux: Goldman's Coup

[jteeselink]

What a corrupt capitalist system we have. I'm think Adam Smith is rolling in his grave right now. I'm sure his "invisable hand" wasn't meant to be invisable because Uncle Sam was using it to give Wall Street a hand job. Bernie Madoff made a big mistake, he ripped off the rich and not the middle class. Well a little but much more the rich and he paid the price. These CEO ripped us off and got a way with it. When Gary J Aguirre tried to do his job and investigate. He got fired!

ugly studio, weird camera angle, and that guy just starring across the table like Dexter wtf!

[xadam2dudex]

more than enough evidence is out there to bring charges against Goldman Sachs but the people that can bring the charges are all bought by Goldman Sachs

Everyone who worked for Goldman Sachs in the past and is LOYAL ONLY to Goldman Sachs, they ALL now work in the Whitehouse, they ALL now work in the Federal Reserve, they ALL now work in Treasury Department, they ALL now Completely Control & Own Obama, Geithner, Bernanke, Emanuel, Democrats, Republicans, Congress. Goldman OWNS USA, it has Invaded the American Gov, it has Paid Obama & other politicians MILLIONS, Goldman created the Bailout, which ONLY Benefited them, they are now Richer than God.

INVESTIGATE THE FED RESERVE, Economic Terrorist GOLDMAN SACHS, AND WHY OBAMA, WHITEHOUSE & GEITHNER ARE ALL OWNED BY THEM

[curetheingorant]

Matt is bang on, senior Treasury Department official with ties to Goldman Sachs answers to the Board of Directors of Goldman Sachs, not to the American people. But this is only a symptom of a much greater problem and that is the corruption of Congress by the various lobby and special interest groups.

[Paolo7219]

This is why the Stock Market is going up AND there is NO JOB GROWTH. Goldman Sachs is taking their taxpayer bailout money and injecting it into equities--or things like oil speculation. That's bad enough, but what's REALLY bad is they are getting away with it! It's indicative of how corrupt the US system is from top to bottom. Tragic. Repoug, Dem majorities. It doesn't matter.

[marebitono]

Maybe what happens with Goldman Sachs is the logical direction for Capitalism. You live in the age of something called "Late Capitalism" or some similar term. This is the way it is played. It is a game where the winner takes all and the loser can starve to death. It's life or death! Want to change it? Build a Union! Start a worker owned business. Socialism is Capitalism for all. Capitalism is the Wild West, shoot em up style!

[livershot]

@marebitono The problem is, the last time anyone tried that on a mass scale they got deported to Russia or just shot in the face. Plus we have Xbox now, so nobody's listening to your Marxist drivel ; )

[marebitono]

@livershot I need your address! We got commie members everywhere. I would suggest you don't leave your x-box for anything! THe whole world for you is in that little box. It is you!

Where can we have you deported to?

Deregulation is the problem. GS has former executives in many key places in govt, they can and do get any rule or regulation changed or removed they desire.

[tom474e]

We need to get Goldman Sachs out of our Government, there at it again with the price of oil. Trading in oil increased 11% this month and the price of a barrel is on the rise. These people belong in jail.

[Geoffrey2410]

Read The GREAT AMERICAN BUBBLE MACHINE. THE GAME IS RIGGED. GOLDMAN OWNS THE GOVERNMENT THE USA IS NOT FOR SALE GOLDMAN OWNS IT, CONTROLS IT,, CAN BUY AND SELL IT.

THE CONSTITUTION IS GOOD FOR TOILET PAPER ONLY  . IT'S A DISGRACE AND CROOKED TO THE CORE. WE'VE BEEN HAD BIG TIME.

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).

[odh202]

Everything2: I guess GS didn't need the TARP money then.

[abdighazi]

goldman is going down. perfect fall guy. taibbis piece is a cover up of the foreign intell connections to the aig citi goldman scam.

[tom474e]

Goldman never paid back the 13 billion in tarp money they got from AIG. Aig Owed them 18 billion and with out it GS would have gone under. So when AIG got tarp money, 13 billion when directly to Goldman Sachs

[alphecca2539]

Rolling Stone is for deep thinkers.

Obama was on the cover, and he had a halo around his head.

[tom474e]

These corporations have been pulling money from the middle class since Raegan was president. The top 1% has more wealth than 95%, and that is immoral.

[neoclassic09]

actually he is a writer for rolling stone... if you followed any of this you'd realize that he knows what he's talking about.

the fact that you've never heard of him yet there has been a massive uproar around his article in the recent rolling stone for the PAST THREE WEEKS makes it clear that you're just an idiot troll.
