Public must learn to 'tolerate the inequality' of bonuses, says Goldman Sachs exec

The financial bailout raised a lot of questions that I never felt were answered:

1) If capitalism's greatest strength is that it weeds out the weak as the bankers claim, then why would we prop up failed businesses like Goldman Sachs?

2) Since the government bought the banks, what measures have been taken to ensure that another meltdown never happens?

And perhaps most importantly:

3) Why do the bulk of people accept a system that, more clearly than ever, rewards a small cabal of incompetent, untrustworthy men? How many more bonuses do these men need before people burn the fucking thing down?

    • Yeah ? And who's goiing to make them, asshole ? Your comment, Mr.Gold man sachs, represents the inner reflection of a pig. In fact, I realy should apologize to all the genuine swine in this world for defaming them. That guy couldn't climb a 40 foot ladder out of a pit to get to the level of decent pigs. And as for your ultimatum it was ill timed. The news yesterday was that the Government, which does represent the People, and not the Banksters,
      is determined to cut your salaries by 90 %. So much for your false pretense that you have people over a barrel. OPEC has had you trumped on that notion too. There's one fool who should never play pitch.
