I thilnk all CEO's with mansions should be forced to give up their land; and the land should be used for organic farming. There is no reason for excess spending on material things.

The money from TARP and the Federal Resreve is nothing to compared to what Goldman Sachs gets through the FDIC.

Goldman Sachs has access to endless amounts of cheap government capital through the FDIC. No public reporting. No strings attached.

Sure they can return the TARP money. That 's petty cash compared to the FDIC gusher.

CodePink is a grassroots movement. They moved me while they moved this meeting from what it was trying to be to what it became. The pressure was elegant and dignified, yet powerful. Keep moving us to a higher ground CodePink. Where there was no "window of opportunity" apparent in the meeting for the common persons' concerns to be addressed, this action opened up the window that was needed to shine the light on that which is shrouded in secrecy by design. This was very effective.

In 2004 Henry Paulson, Goldman Sachs CEO, got the SEC to exempt investment bank brokerages from the net-capital rules that limited their debt leverage. The SEC decided to rely on the investment companies' own computer models to measure investment risk. (Letter from James Zucker, NY Times Magazine, May 31, 09) ... These changes led to the collapse of risk, then of credit, then of our whole economy.

As Sec of Treasury in 2008, Paulson pushed the flimsy bank rescue plan through Congress.

Our race is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves."

— Menachem Begin - Israeli Prime Minister 19771983

Codepink will never be taken seriously if their strategy remains to walk around and ambush political figures like Rumsfeld and yell things like 'war criminal'. They will simply remain an annoyance unless they begin to act in a civilized manner to get their ideas out. Not that I agree with their ideas, but they will be marginalized unless they begin to act civil themselves with logical arguments and reasoning.
