    How Goldman destroyed USA


    Goldman Sach , a wall street broker is a dangerous for our country. It is too powerful entity and for the sake of the country it should be split into 3-4 firms. This firm owns politicians ( Henry Paulson) and dictate the policies in Washington.

    1. Internet bubble was created by the Goldman.

    2. The law on housing market was changed on the advise of government, which allowed a $14000 a year employee to qualify for $800 k mortgage

    3. On the advise of Henry Paulson, who was the chairman of Goldman in 2002, the banks increased the leverage from 12 times to 40 times.

    4. Goldman commodity sector did a fraud on oil and pumped the oil prices to $150 a barrel.

    5. Goldman advised government to bankrupt Lehman, to get rid of it’s competitor

    6. Same Goldman advised government to bail out AIG and Pocketed $25 billion dollars of tax payer money.

    First Goldman took money from people 401k accounts, by pumping and dumping stock market. The second step was to take all their money from their home equity by pumping and dumping house prices. The last frontier is to devalue dollar and bring American people on is knees. That’s why advising government to bring stimulate packages and print dollar. No politician is talking about bringing back American jobs. Where is our indusial policy? All politicians are controlled by Goldman Sach. The free market policy hyped by Goldman Sach is killing the country. No country has gotten rich by sending it’s jobs overseas. The only country getting rich are the oil producing countries and China. Is Goldman Sach is working for them? May be, getting big business in china All the media and politicians are owned by Goldman Sach. Free market is good with rest of the world, but not with any east Asian countries like Japan, China, India etc. These countries don’t have any internal consumption and depend on export. Theses countries are getting rich by destroying American industries and jobs,. We Americans are doomed. The big cooperation’s ( Cisco, oracle, and Caterpillar) are advocating free market, as they get cheap labor in those countries and fatting their profit. That is not helping American people. The greed is on extreme in America. Counties and states are getting bankrupt because jobs are going overseas, which results in loss of taxes , depreciation of property, and closure of small businesses. One lost job to overseas , cost five more jobs lost, which depend on the lost overseas job. The state like California is talking about cutting expenses, but no body is talking about increasing revenue , by creating jobs. Bottom line is that Those Asian countries need USA, but USA don’t need them. We need industrial policy, an industrial policy to bring jobs back. We need to tax the goods from China, India, Japan ( any country with surplus with USA). If USA wants to save money , we should outsource our military and police to Taliban ( Just a Joke, but larry Kudlow in CNBC will do it). The above points are valid, but Goldman will not let government take the above steps, and if any politician will try to bring change, the Goldman will crash the Market. Remember , march 2009 crash. China is systematically destroying USA industries, like ban on Google, on gaming software and now on American chicken . Japanese did the same to USA industries during 80’s and 90’s. The USA is heading towards higher taxes and weak dollar unless we bring back our industries and increase our tax base. We went to far in free market and paying the price, while other countries are enjoying it.

    The next advise of the Goldman Sach to the government will be to sell California to china and Goldman sach will make billions from the commission. Than will be Hawaii, Alaska, etc.

    Hard to believe anyone at GS said anything. I bet Ed hears from their legal consul.

    I am not quite sure if I believe what I am reading. Please someone correct me if I am wrong. Is Tyler Durden allegedly suggesting GS uses data from its client facing website, tracking client visits, stock quotes and research so that GS can front-run the deals and make a few bps knowing client buying or selling is going to occur a few seconds later? If I have this wrong please correct me.
