Superb idea.  Like the “black deck” used in wartime (to identify the dead) or the one used by Iraqi soldiers to identify HVTs.  I don’t know how busy you are, but you really should begin working on it.  Not only is it a great idea, but you could probably make a few (legitimate, honest, justifiable) bucks doing it.  I would certainly buy one!

Peace.

Greg Smith took a step in the right direction. That’s
good, especially since he “made” the NYT.
  But as to changing the system ....?  Well, that’s another whole sacred ball of wax that will take more than one guy just saying NO. But it’s a start.
  It would appear that the USA is not so good at systemic change. We prefer to treat symptoms, if at all. That way the bureaucracy can spin the same old narrative decade after decade and nobody’s the wiser, nobody has to actually DO anything. Just talk about it—but not too loud! And blame the other guy, if possible.
  When somebody really tries to change anythimg, the Wall Street Kings can’t get to Washington fast enough to put a stop to it.

Maybe you haven’t heard that bribing government officials is no longer illegal. It’s the new system. That’s how we can assure that government does what the rich people want done. Clean and efficient.

My dear friends here on TD - You all know, of course, that Americans “admire” anyone who works on WS, speculates, “financializes,” “creates capital,” takes risks, “creates jobs.” You all know that there are plenty of (supposedly) educated people who read the op-ed piece today and fumed over the fact that someone showed the king with no clothes. I even heard an economist on NPR this morning saying, “heck, waiters call their customers jerks….why is this any different?” Yes, this is why we should trust economists…...anyway…..

And somewhere out there in America tonight, families have little “capitalism nativity” scenes in front of their TV’s as they watch Fox News or American Idol or whatever and pray to the demi gods: “Job Creator” “Quant-Majorus” (not to be confused with labia majorus) “Halliburtus” and “Apple-linneous.” Because in this here country, there is only one religion and it’s god is greed…..and greed is good…........yes….

Time for the US Attorney’s office to file anti-trust action w/the DOJ.

Bravo, Mr. Smith.  And, please, ignore those who find it all-too-easy to suggest you should have committed hari kari while employed at Goldman.

Bravo!

MeHere, that about sums up the Goldman Sachs hearings on the Abacus deal.

ardee, better late than never my friend. 

Morpheus yes this has all been said before, but not generally on the front page of NYTimes, and most certainly not from a Goldman Sachs executive.. Greed is no longer good!

This former executive says “he doesn’t know of any illegal behavior.”  He may not have known everything that was going on, but the fact is that these companies invest in bribing legislators and government officials who make laws and regulations which turn essentially illegal behavior into legal business operations.

So, twelve years at Goldman and now he takes a moral position? Excuse me but I find him as phony as the democratic loyalists that infest this site ignoring all the cess within that organization too.

F@@K Goldman Sachs and the rich.

Here is an idea who’s time has come.

ONE PERCENTER Trading Cards.  That way we could see who it is that is fucking
us.

You could have a deck for each major city.

How much money they have.

What industry they are in.

How much money they make, per hour, per minute.

How many houses they have and how big they are.

Their favorite restaurants.

What kind of Jet they have and how much it costs.

What their extravagant indulgences are.

How truly uncharitable they are.

What city they live in and in what neighborhood.

Maybe even publish their addresses.

ETC..

This way we can focus on the individuals who are the beneficiaries of this
fucked up system and are the ones who can change it if they choose to.

It is a global class war.  Show everyone who the enemy is.

(you can use the Fortune 400 as a reference)

Is he really saying anything that we don’t already know?
