Goldman sachs got a bailout in 2008. I think he ought to be riding on the back of a garbage truck or some other kind of hard physical labor. I dont know where he was in 2008 but you can bet he was sucking up those tax dollars while people I know had to go out of business over 4 dollar a gallon diesel and no freight to haul.

Also, The taxpayers actually made about 23% profit from the bailouts. For example. Goldman borrowed 10 billion and repaid 11.4 billion a year later.

Bill Gates is one of the richest men in the world-filthy rich-he uses that money in a foundation for doing good for people in less fortunate places in the world.A good man.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Dont feel lonely foxpaw.
I am about as far from the high finance world of banking as you can get. I read that Goldman did that too. Had to get gifted 10 billion dollars to stay afloat. However one year later, fuel is still 4 bucks a gallon, the real estate market was unrecovered, the stock market showing very minimal gains, unemployment was high, but in spite of all that a bank had enough profit, in one year, to pay 11 BILLION bavck to the government.
