Goldman Sachs v. Occupy Wall Street: A Greg Palast Investigation
Loading...
Uploaded by democracynow on Oct 25, 2011
www.democracynow.org - Democracy Now! talks to investigative reporter Greg Palast about a controversy in the banking community around the Occupy Wall Street movement. Palast investigates the story behind Goldman Sachs' recent decision to pull out of a fundraiser for the Lower East Side People's Federal Credit Union in New York City after it learned the event was honoring the protesters at Occupy Wall Street. The investment bank withdrew its name from the fundraiser and also canceled a $5,000 pledge. Was the $5,000 a Goldman Sachs donation or actually American taxpayer bail-out money Goldman set aside for community banks?

"Power isn't control at all — power is strength, and giving that strength to others. A leader isn't someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own."

They will probably allow Obama to tax millionaires.. to see if that can let out some steam and maybe get him realected.. as long as he stays away from the fed+friends and the "health" industry. People know this and wont be fooled anymore :)

@vladdrac88 To put it simply the 1% or that minority just don't care about the rest of the people in the world who are the majority.This is completely obvious and evidenced by their actions to think or believe otherwise is just foolish.
