When you read about Goldman Sachs crimes, and how people on Wall Street idolize Fabulous Fab, it makes you wonder.

You're presuming too much. There is little admiration for these people outside of zip code 10005.

When did Goldman and Sachs begin to represent me?


I didn't get my cut.

No I guarantee this cycle will defiantly repeat it self as we just never learn and corruption will always go on. this corruption and greed in government and in corporations will be the death of this country.It seems no one cares about the good of the country anymore it is all about what's in it for me, what and how much can I get? this country is in a downward spiral. I can't understand why CEO's are making hundreds of millions of dollars while the company they run goes under, how many houses do you need? how many cars do you need, when is it enough? There are so many things wrong here greed will kill us.

The greed is the America's "trademark" and its wild capitalism, that puts profits as the most important thing of the world, leaving behind ethics, morality, family, friendship, etc...

You need to get out of South American and visit the real America because you sure don't know a thing about us.

No, what makes you wonder is why people make post like this assuming all Americans are this way.

You are naive. It is the nature of business to try to survive and grow in a hostile environment and yes profits are the most important thing. This "wild capitalism", albeit not perfect, is responsible for saving more lives then it "destroys". Ethics, morality, family friendship, etc. have nothing to do with it. Those are personal choices society makes as a group or individually. At least we don't torture and eat dogs and cats.

Hey, if the Chinese deem it necessary for their first graders to make fireworks or put toothpaste in tubes for the sake of the Homeland, far be it from me to tell them otherwise. I don't want to be accused of foisting my "values" on another country.
