The PBS/Frontline program "The Warning" does an excellent job of showing how the Banking Industry in general and Goldman Sachs specifically has become the covert Government behind the Government. Goldman Sachs has been placing their chosen people (Greenspan, Paulson, Geitner, Levin, Benankie, Summers, etc.) in the positions of power from Regan to the Obama administrations, and is directly responsible for the derivatives melt down and the resulting economic damage to the American and world economies. It then helped itself to the United States Treasury, and robbed the American people of hundreds of billions of dollars. It is time to realize Goldman Sachs is a monster out of control and needs to be broken up. Unless it is, the United States is a monarchy with Goldman Sachs as self appointed King and absolute ruler. Without the breakup of GS, the country will have no chance of economic recovery. The greed and corruption of this corporation will continue to bleed our collective pockets until our national debt will reduce us to a third world existence.

This Goldman Sachs domination is also addressed in Michael Moore's current movie Capitalism: A Love Story.

Don't forget JP Morgan. JPM is the government, with "sovereign immunity" from lawsuits by the great unwashed. YES Goldman Sachs is a big player too, but notice how nobody mentions JPM. The fact that JPM is never mentioned in these things, speaks volumes to me.

Your right, JP Morgan is another monster out of control.

Obama orders executive pay to be slashed...the seven companies are: Bank of America Corp., American International Group Inc., Citigroup Inc., General Motors, GMAC, Chrysler and Chrysler Financial.

Where is Goldman on this list? Can it get any more obvious?

The amount of evidence of the graft and corruption is staggering. If you have any doubt of what is going on read the following articles, and then scratch your head and wonder why the average taxpayer is completely in the dark about this.

Goldman doesn't have to cut their executives' pay because they paid back their TARP money already.
