I think the question is not who is on the island with cash. The question is who owns the land and water on the various mainlands.
All listed are scum, with Goldman being the largest, most criminal scum of all. Doesn’t matter, by the time Americans take action, the heads of GS will be cooling it on an island somewhere with all thier looted cash…..
Ask the Question to the United States of America ,
” What are we Going to do about this ” ??????????

Is America about to go broke? Social Security and Medicare — promises of future retirement and health care benefits — total $42.9 trillion
Government obligations for Social Security and Medicare may soon exceed the combined net worth of every household and nonprofit organization in the country.

U.S. Federal Government Inc. They are totally corupt, and enable corupt Goldman-Sachs to continue
operation
Ha Ha Jim great response but I still got to vote: GS needs to be pressure canned to kill the pathogens and then dumped in the ocean after being rendered harmless.
I was kind of disappointed not to be able to vote for JPMorgan Chase, but I guess GSAX is a decent proxy. IMHO, last year it seemed to me that Treasury and the Fed were on one side of the table, the banks with GSAX at their head were on the other, and guess what–a certain blue-eyed boy named JPM was sitting between Treasury and Fed on their side of the table, sticking out his tongue and making faces at those seated across from him. Anyone else get that impression??
The worst culprit is the U.S. government that allows the WORST corporations to not only survive, but to thrive. Congress, all the bloody senators and political lifers that are more interested in campaign contributions and their financial welfare than the welfare of the country. These are the people that let the Goldmans, and the Morgans run the country. USA, the land of the free? Hardly. Politicians should be drawn from a lottery of taxpayers and appointed for a term just as people are selected for jury duty. Anyone with an IQ over room temperature would be eligible; this would guarantee that they are more qualified than the current political body that is running this country!
Kill em all!!!
Let God sort them out!!
Baxter International Inc. et. al. for concocting and releasing the deadly avian/swine/human flu virus that is making the rounds of the world as we speak. Stealing our money is one thing however global genocide for population control is quite another. Oh and this virus which can only get more deadly will be a natural phenomenon when pigs can fly with a human passenger on it’s back, from Asia to Mexico City! Proof is in the International headlines where it admitted that it “accidentally” contaminated various batches with deadly virus and shipped it to 18 countries. Or could it be the accident was a manipulated disaster of unprecedented magnitude precipitated by monumental greed and avarice? With the safety protocols in place experts agree that the chances of an accident are slim to none.
Seems Chase Bank is missing from the list of conspirators. However, of those listed, I vote for Goldman-Sachs as the worst traitor… er, corporation.
Goldman Sachs….they have there fingers in everything
Goldman.
Goldman Sucks I mean Sachs….
GS is known to me as a near employer decades ago. I am so happy I choose someone else because I did not say I would accept their job offer if I got one!
Picking from the provided list – Goldman Sachs wins hands down.
Has to be Goldman government Sachs and the merry men from treasury.
Goldman Sachs is the worst because they seem to be the queen bee of the smitten financial hive.
Goldman Sacks, the worst of any.
excellent #s in documenting corruption for an individual, Carlson. But just to keep it in perspective….
$1,600,0000,000,000,000
Perhaps one of the most corrupt individuals is Jackie Clegg (Dodd – wife of Senator Chris Dodd) who last year raked in:
$250,000 from IPC Holdings – Subsidiary of AIG
$350,000 from Clegg International Consultants as managing partner for consulting fees
$ 49,000 from Cardiome Pharmacutical Co. for director fees
$130,000 from Javelin Pharmaceutical Co. for director fees
$ 54,811 from CME Group for director fees
$130,000 from Brookside Senior Living for director fees
$146,000 from Blockbuster for director fees
$?? from Cabot Holdings (or CBOT Holdings) for director fees
$?? from Chicago Board of Trade for director fees
$?? from Export-Import Bank of US for serving as Chief Operating Officer
Is this perhaps how one can pursuade the US Senate?!!
I have to go with the Fed/IMF. I decided on that before I read the the previous post. They even lie about what they are.
AIG was a criminal enterprise before the takeover, helping corporations evade taxes with captive reinsurance scams. Then it just became a conduit to send taxpayer money to GS.
It is a very challenging to weigh the decision. Size, depth of deceit, corruption? One could probably find the most corrupt by the amount of money spent on campaign contributions and lobbyists.
Kimberly Clark and the Fed should merge… all that paper.. you won’t be able to tell the difference between TP and Federal Reserve notes except that TP will go up in value as the other goes down. Great hedging opportunity. buy ink…
The Federal Reserve consists of the Board of Governors and 12 banks, with the most powerful being the NY Fed, which is owned by its members. And who are they? Goldman Sachs….
The Federal Reserve is, by far, the worst corporation.
Goldman Sachs was the worst.
currently, it’s gotta be GS! those are some tough choices, however. cargill, only bested by monsanto…exxonmobil clearly very parasitic. AIG is just just the tool used by GS to distribute US taxpayer dollars to the elite of the world. walmart, is sucking blood from just about everyone on the planet, so they might an even better shot than GS. UBS, Kimberly-Clark, and Merck (another tough one), just aren’t big enough tapeworms for me to justify. I still gotta say GS as they are largely responsible for the govt decisions in the US for the past 20 years or so, and has sucked the entire world into some 1,600,0000,000,000,000 dollars in debt (and counting???). that’s 1.6 quadrillion US$. curious to hear other viewpoints on this one.
