...with REDUCED interest rates for savings and INCREASED rates for borrowing, to taxes paid out to them, to free money given to them by the Fed. They're sucking money out of the system and sucking the work and lives from the people.
It's totally criminal, and should be shut down immediately.
A great quote from Matt Taibbi about GS:
"These guys destroyed the economy, we gave them enough money to solve the health care crisis, and within 6 months they make 3 billion in profits, and give out 11 billion in bonuses. That not right, that's money that should be going to us."
Also, read about GS and the blood funnel trading scams:
"The slower traders began issuing buy orders. But rather than being shown to all potential sellers at the same time, some of those orders were most likely routed to a collection of high-frequency traders for just 30 milliseconds — 0.03 seconds — in what are known as flash orders. While markets are supposed to ensure transparency by showing orders to everyone simultaneously, a loophole in regulations allows marketplaces like Nasdaq to show traders some orders ahead of everyone else in exchange for a fee."
