Goldman Sachs har forstått det.

Fra EPJ. Herlig venn-diagram som viser hvem som har hatt toppstillinger i både Goldman Sachs og den amerikanske staten de siste 20 årene.

Investment bankers are just doing Gods work - lloyd blankfein, CEO Goldman Sachs.

Selv fra denne relativt lange listen er det viktige mennesker som har blitt glemt.

The designer of the Venn diagram below failed to include former-treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who was paid to speak at Goldman Sachs before being named head of President Obama's National Economic Council. Also failing to make the diagram was Gene Sperling, current adviser to Treasury Secretary Geithner, who was before that an adviser to Goldman Sachs. And how can one forget Neal Kashkari, except in a room overflowing with Goldman alum? Kashkari served as head of the Office of Financial Stability, which bought up all that bad debt from Goldman and other crony banks, during the heat of the crisis. Naturally, he worked at Goldman before heading to the OFS.

Vanlige firmaer ville nøyd seg med å bruke penger på å influere personer i stillinger som regulerer dem. Ikke goldman. De kjøper stillinger og besitter dem selv.
