Goldman Sachs pays about 1% tax. How much do you pay.

Hello there, Aunk. Long time no see. I guess it's difficult to get people's attention here, isn't it?

The amount they pay in tax doesn't bother me so much, it's the amount of criminal activity they've benefited from. I want to see every GS employee in jail, I want to see the company dissolved forever, and I want the money from the firm, as well as from every employee, given back to the citizens it was stolen from.

I have several GS articles going on today that you might find of interest.

Hetep and Respect pjwrites, good to see U too.

I want to see every GS employee in jail, I want to see the company dissolved forever, and I want the money from the firm, as well as from every employee, given back to the citizens it was stolen from.

I agree, I would add the regulatory angencys to the list. You should start a twitition like I did on health care we must try what we can to shead some light on this action that is needed if they are not to just do this to the us, the American people, again down the road.

Interesting articles I wish I had more time.

Goldman Sachs stands to lose if its trading technology leaks out, Facciponti told the judge. "Once it is out there, anybody will be able to use this, and their market share will be adversely affected," he said.

That is the problem, their "trading technology", lying and stealing, got out and everything stopped.

Hey Aunk. I seeded this also. Absolutely nothing in response so I started poking around and found yours... not a barn burning response here either. Frankly I'm amazed. Any theory on the lack of interest?

Feelings of helplessness? Must be how the serfs felt back in the bad old days.

Hetep and Respect boomer, it is remarkable that the normally, don't miss a trick, NV readers are not more active on this. But then Bush and the forty thieves are still not in Jail for murder so what can we expect on money.

Any theory on the lack of interest?

Orwell keeps the public busy fighting each other, earning a living and trying to stay healthy after they poison us.

I spoke to a "Banker" tennis buddy while we hit the balls and he was insisting the Federal Reserve is audited daily, WTF. Later he said don't confuse the Treasury with the FR, hmm who is confused.

Have you folks every heard of an audit of the Federal Reserve? I need a sanity check.
