Goldman Sachs Rules the World





That's the gospel according to a venal but honest Wall Street  trader named, Alessio Rastani . Check out what he has to say on the video below.   His comment to the BBC  on the subject of the Eurozone bail out was breathtaking, or as the interviewer said, "jaw-dropping."

The interviewer asked him if he thought that  financial disaster could be averted and he said " I don't care. It doesn't matter."  Huh? Can you believe it?  He doesn't care because all those people living in their cars and children going hungry don't matter because hard times are just a wonderful financial opportunity for him and his ilk.  He's been hoping for another depression because there were people who made fortunes during the last one. He said that. He really did. I thought the BBC lady was going to choke.  He went on to observe " Governments don't run the world. Goldman Sachs runs the world"

Maybe Goldman Sachs runs his world, but it doesn't run mine.  And I bet someone from Goldman Sachs will be in touch with him soon  for spilling the beans on TV .  I hope they at least have the good grace to be embarrassed.

Talk about being out of touch.  Talk about having no moral compass.  This guy makes Marie Antoinette look like a bleeding heart liberal. Watch the video. Your jaw will drop too.  If it weren't so shocking it would be funny.  Is this what we have come to as a nation?

Shame on us!!!
