‘Goldman Sachs is among
the most visible financial parasites. Their executives have a revolving
door through the US Treasury Department. They profit through
“trading,” much like Enron did; including selling
investments represented as AAA while simultaneously betting the value
of those investments tank. Their CEO says they’re “doing
God’s work,” as Enron’s CEO said, “We are on
the side of angels.”
A US Senate report puts
the parasitic cost to Americans at $2 to $4 trillion every year. To put
that figure into perspective, that’s an almost unbelievable
$20,000 to $40,000 added cost per US household every year. Goldman
Sachs is so happy with their “trading,” they’ll pay
out a record of $23 billion in bonuses to their top employees for their
2009 work.’
