Can we please have some demonstrations against Goldman Sachs ! I want them to give back all the 12.9 billion they got from AIG and return it to the US Treasury.
Nice Blog! Goldman Sachs is now the world's most powerful organized crime syndicate. Hank Paulson strong-armed Congress for your money under one pretense and then pulled oldest con in the book: the bait and switch. Once he had your trillions he gave it to his fellow idiot baby-boomer banker friends that blew up the economy with their reckless speculation so they wouldn't have to suffer the consequences of their own imbecility. Goldman lied to everyone claiming they had minimal exposure to AIG when in fact their exposure was lethal. Those dumb speculators would be insolvent if they were a normal business but they were influential enough to buy our politicians and made sure you and me covered their gambling losses. We have a very large political problem in this country. Do not ever vote for another Republican or Democrat. Both parties are owed by the same people. Boycott anything associated with Goldman Sachs and demand all your money back. Those crooks are still cooking the books keeping their massive derivatives and other losses off the books so they can reward themselves with the most undeserved bonuses in history. It is time for a political revolution in this country. We need to pull down the baby boomer kleptocracy that is perfectly symbolized by Goldman Sachs that can use political blackmail to fleece the public instead of going out of business when they make bad investments. Bring back capitalism. Let dumb baby boomer businesses fail. Oh, and boycott Burger King!
I too am outraged!!!!!!!!! I am going to take my dollars from the big guys. It is insulting for this to continue. I now know how the French Revolutionaries must have felt.

Share Print CommentsWhen executives from the Big Three auto makers hopped their individual jets in November 2008 to fly from Detroit to Washington and throw themselves at the feet of Congress to beg for federal financial support, we all marveled at the disconnect. Corporations struggling to make ends meet could not think beyond their corporate rules and norms and do a collective gut check. They never thought to find that emotional quotient, their EQ. The perception of it all... asking us for money while traveling in imperious style. And then they were taken aback with the public outcry. Remember, it wasn't their IQs people were questioning as much as their EQs.
Fast forward to November, 2009. Wall Street bailouts are the norm and fat corporate checks are back. The airplanes never really went away. So while Wall Street perks are percolating, guess what else those money mavericks have that you probably don't? They have allotments of H1N1 vaccine.
Here are some of the numbers:
Citigroup - 1,200 doses
Goldman Sachs - 200 doses
Morgan Stanley - 1,000 doses
Now look at what some of the New York City Hospitals received:
Memorial Sloan Kettering - 200 doses
Lennox Hill - 200 doses
NYU Medical Center - 300 doses
And the local universities:
Columbia University - 200 doses
NYU - 300 doses
The president of the United States has declared the H1N1 pandemic a national emergency. This move is supposed to give the federal government greater authority in coordinating doctors and emergency personnel during pandemics and in times of national security threats. You might also expect that the pronouncement would streamline getting vaccine into your doctor's office and not just into corporate medical clinics.
There are rules and forms of course to get your vaccine. The system is supposed to ensure that those who need it get it first. You remember who they are... pregnant women, young people under the age of 24, people with compromised immune systems and those caring for the very young or the very old. Hmmm. Doesn't sound like a Wall Streeter to me. Wall Street may be ground zero for an economic meltdown, but it is not ground zero for a viral pandemic.
You can put blame in so many places I'm not sure where to start... how the feds assign allotments, the NY Health department that didn't bother to use common sense or the financial institutions who jumped in the life boats while the needy were left on the sinking ship. Who cares about that inconvenient patient up the street when you have your private nurse with a syringe?
And therein lies the EQ gap. The arrogance, sense of entitlement, and self-justification just because you can jump to the front of the line. Issue a press release if you wish telling us how you are saving the world one vaccine at a time because you have donated your supply to a local school or clinic. But for God's sake, put someone other than yourself first for once.
I know it is a small thing but I've started a facebook fan page for boycotting/demonstrating against Goldman Sachs. If we can get it to go viral then maybe we can make a difference.
Cool article you got here. It would be great to read something more concerning this topic. Thank you for giving this information. Sexy Lady Female escort

I want to thank everyone for their comments; we can't do anything about this if we let it alone or stop talking about it.
