Before we dive into this, I want to stress how crucial, critical, and important self-empowerment, responsibility, and choices are towards you–the individual. And, I want to highlight the importance of separating you–the individual from this soup of energy and mindsets of everyone else, or shall I say, the country.
So, read this for you and you only. Forget about the next door neighbor, forget about everyone else in your neighborhood, city, state, and the country altogether.
Next, forget about everything you’ve heard about everything the media says about everything.
You ready? Let’s go…
I will note this again because it should be noted again and again. Goldman Sachs should be dead. Door nail. Kaput. Finito. Gone. A piece of history. Expired.
But Goldman Sachs, Government Sachs, lives because it got bailed out by you the taxpayer. You’re the one who felt the brunt of the Great Recession. You who lost your home. You who moved in with the kids to make ends meet. You who went on food stamps quietly in desperation. You who had the heat turned off. You who saw the middle class slip away, away, away. You kept Goldman alive, largely because their former CEO Hank Paulson ran the US Treasury when Wall Street teetered on the open pits of hell.
This is the part where I would have the author speak for themselves. Unless they know you personally and you told them you went through all that and “bailed somebody out”, or you felt the brunt of the “Great Recession”, they no nothing about you.
However, IF you agree with that statement, I’m not going to stop you, I’m just curious to why you’d want to be in that soup in the first place if you desire anything in your life regarding money.
One of my pet peeves is when I hear people say “they’re spending taxpayer’s money” based on what their political gang or mainstream media told them, yet failed to justify their accusation by failing to see or even show me a balance sheet that prove something’s been paid by “taxpayers”.
Goldman should have fallen into the firey nether. A few of the other big banks would have followed the firm. But you know what wouldn’t have died? America.
Had we let capitalism actually work, had the crony barons actually paid for their breathtakingly stupid leveraged positions, we’d have probably recovered more quickly. Additionally, we’d now likely have a more robust (more) capitalist system than we had prior to 2008. The muck would have been cleared. Instead we must now deal with the crony system of legalized graft which has grown exponentially since the Crash.
Who’s “we”, and “us”?
We could’ve had THIS, but because THEY did THAT, we can’t have THE OTHER THING, and we gotta deal with THIS! So because we all are ordered to feel miserable because of THAT, all together America…
And now having been saved by you the taxpayer, the guy who likely couldn’t get past the reception desk at Goldman headquarters, Goldman has continued its crony quest.
(From The Nation)
Once Kashkari takes his seat on January 1, 2016, one-third of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks will be led by someone with strong ties to Goldman Sachs. In addition to Kashkari and his two fellow (and they are all fellow) recent appointees, the New York Fed’s president, William Dudley, is also a Goldman Sachs alumnus. He served as the bank’s chief economist for ten years as well as partner and managing director.
The presidents of the 12 Fed Banks help carry out the Fed’s bank supervision responsibilities, so the revolving door between Goldman Sachs and key Fed posts should alarm us. But it is also hard to see how the Fed’s recent selection of three Goldman Sachs bankers conforms with the Federal Reserve Act requirement that Fed leaders “represent the public,” with “due consideration” given to a variety of economic backgrounds and perspectives.
Still waiting for that balance sheet “taxpayer”…
Sadly The Nation’s concern strikes us as quaint, at best. They don’t like that the Fed system doesn’t spread the spoils of the system to the people they like. (The cronies they like.) This is the problem which plagues statist critics of the Fed. There is the tendency to want to believe that if the Fed was just run by the right people it would be a valuable tool for social engineering. They can’t bring themselves to call for an end to the bank, because a central bank is central to “progressive-statism.” And this is how the central banks always co-opt or simply dispose of their lefty critics.
Get real. End the Fed. Don’t be a wimp about it. Have some pride.
Who’s “they”?
Alright let’s clean this up. What’s a “cronie”? I’m trying to figure out what that mean to you. It has so many definitions. Well I’ll tell you mine. A crony is someone that tells you what’s going on with somebody else and using them as a crutch for not taking care of their own business.
What do you mean by that Diary?
I’ll tell ya. No one can end the Fed because “Americans” won’t allow it to die. How are they going to cash their checks every Friday? How are they going to apply for a credit card so they can get those “air miles” and “cash back” on certain purchases? How are they going to apply for that mortgage to be part of the “American Dream?” How are they going to write off certain interest payments and loans off their tax returns?
Pride? What pride? What’s so proud to blame another source on a financial decision you make? And on top of it, you need other Americans to agree with you? Would that make you feel special? Important? More “patriotic” to blame ole Goldman Sachs for your own financial woes? Oh, that corrupted government sachs stole taxpayers money? People are now broke, poor and eating mayonnaise sandwiches because of big old Goldman aye?
Now. American people. In unison, being angry with Goldman Sachs is so patriotic, it’s so patriotic to stress out over finances, and believe that you working hard at your job is patriotic, and paying your taxes is patriotic, and feeling angry when somebody else in D.C. spends “your money” on stupid stuff, ooooh doesn’t it make you so mad? Hey! Get angry you American! Did you know it’s patriotic to get a heart attack over some bullshit data, statistics and headlines CNN toss your way? It’s patriotic to be angry at wealthy people, greedy politicians and billion dollar corporations. Why wouldn’t it? You’re a taxpayer. Right?
I’m making fun of this because it boils down to be pissed off about something that you have to ask yourself; can I change this system tonight?
No, really ask yourself that question. Why are Americans so fucking angry? Angry about what? What the fuck are they so pissed about?
Is America the greatest country on planet Earth or is that a fucking typo people regurgitate blindly without knowing what the hell they’re even saying?
Why is America so goddamn angry?
I’ll tell you why.
America is a beautiful country with breathtaking natural resources. She is such a magnificent country, Mother Earth’s example of the treasures our planet can offer. And she utilizes one of the greatest real estate on Earth. Just ask the animals, which by the way I’ve never seen them angry at all.
Most of the American people however gives me hives. I’m allergic to almost everything they say, because MSM already convinced them that blaming others was the way to go.
Angry Americans angry about Mondays. And if they’re not angry about Mondays, they have to find something else to be angry about.
Are YOU part of that? What does it feel like? Just ask yourself that. What does it feel like to be angry with Obama, or Bush, or Monsanto, or ISIS, or Muslims, or any fucking body–how does that feel?
Why oh God help me why do YOU WANT TO STAY ANGRY?
What does that do to you? Who and where are you getting your sources from?
This article about Goldman Sachs isn’t the first. Goldman has been in the news for years. I didn’t trip over Goldman anymore because there was something I noticed that most conspiracy theorists did not….
Goldman was making money, and using players.
The complainers was the one who hated wealth.
I don’t know about you, but I love wealth. I love money. So, instead of agreeing with this article, I thought ‘since Goldman Sachs make a lot of money allegedly from taxpayers, why not buy some of their stocks?’
What? I can do that? People can buy stocks? Why didn’t I think about that before?
What? Mutual Funds invest in companies like Goldman Sachs? Why are retirees and taxpayers complaining about it? Don’t they have GS in their portfolio?
What was that? They don’t know? Why not? Because they leave that responsibility to the Mutual Fund manager? Well why don’t they see what companies they own? What? Oh because it’s a pain and they don’t have time for that? Oh…correction…they choose not to have time for that so instead of doing a little due-diligence on their MF portfolio they get angry over business deals based on what MSM tells them without verifying the source of the information? But why would they do that?
Because they just like being….angry?
Goldman Sachs is a business, and the American people are okay with that. Yes. Even most black people;
Obama was “allegedly” connected with, and campaign bankrolled by Goldman Sachs as well as Mitt Romney during the last election. Rather certain conspiracy sites was right about that or not, just the rumor was no concern regarding Obama supporters, they wanted their FIRST black President.
I’m surprised Goldman Sachs didn’t get a recognition for “change” from the NAACP–or was it?
Most people could careless about who Goldman is bankrolling, funding, “hiring”, and revolving door-ing, as long as people get their stuff Goldman can do what it does best.
Most people get upset with Goldman because they’re blaming America’s woes on everything except—–what’s going on in here…
Who lives in your mind? Why is it in there? Who put those thoughts in there? How did you even know anything about Goldman Sachs?
Forget about Goldman for a minute, and think about everything that’s happening in your mind, and if applicable your own household.
Did you know that when you allow what’s going on out there bother and affect how you run your finances and household, your home is no longer under your control? That means your home has experienced a silent invasion.
You are responsible of your mind. But when you lose it, and allow other to order you to feel a negative emotion towards something THEY invented, that never personally affected you, you just lost your freedom FROM responsibilities.
That’s equivalent of you living in a bad neighborhood in New York and tell your kids you’re leaving them alone to head out to California in order to fight for their freedom to not worry about burglars and hoodlums.
Think about that for a second. Long and hard.
Take control of your mind or someone else will be happy to control it for you. Start a business, make money. Take care of your family, and learn the game. Learn the game Goldman AND their buddies play. Then buy their stocks, while the other angry Americans start calling you a “crony capitalist”.
That’s including Goldman Sachs. 😉
