Good old Goldman Sachs is back and Obama is pissed. Goldman had a 2009 revenue of 50 billions dollars. The investment bank paid back the 10 billion they borrowed from the government’s TARP fund early, citing, they did not want the government interfering in their business.
For pulling back Goldman from the brink of collapse the company has decided to award CEO Lloyd Blankfein a 100 million dollar bonus. Obama called the bonus “irresponsible and shameful.”
Imgross.org is not quite a 50 billion dollar company, but its getting close. If I help lead this company to record profits, and I don’t get a taste because some socialist asshole politician thinks it’s in bad taste, I will probably lose my god damn mind. 100 million dollars is only 1/100th of Goldman Sach’s profits. If imgross.org was to make 1,000 dollars this month and I was only given 10 dollars of it CEO Scott would be hanging from a limb in his opulent front yard. Private companies are allowed to make money. Obama needs to stop name calling and fix what he is the CEO of… America. Or in 2012 I’m voting Lloyd Blankfein for President.
P.S. Obama’s Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is the previous CEO of Goldman Sachs. As CEO he earned in the neighborhood of 700 million allowing him to step down and become a noble public servant just like his buddy Barack Hussein Obama.
P.P.S. 40% of that 100mil will go to taxes anyways, and it will get spent on really efficient government programs like Medicare and Social Security…sigh
oh an i forgot to mention that Goldman also gave over 500 million dollars to various charities in 2009 alone.
