Quote from flytiger:
This has bothered me for many years. I knew when this broke, the Antisemitism would be brutal. I know about this than most, and yes, many of the names you will read about will be Semitic ones. The history of the Jewish people is replete with instances of those being denied access to the trades because of prejudice, thereby forcing Jews to find work in the banking industries of the day. It would make sense, then, that todays' financial industry would be populated by those of the Jewish culture.
Let's remember that people are people. And although many of us are hurt, disgusted, and many destroyed, those individuals should be targeted not for their culture, but for their individual actions.
Many Jewish investors have been devastated right along with the rest of the populace. And you will never read about those Jews who have worked tirelessly to bring an end to this madness, at the risk of their personal well - being. No one hates GS' actions worse than me. But I am no fan of the Buffetts', the Ross', the Gates of the world who could have taken a step forward and stopped all of this. They had the knowledge and the power. Warren has obviously found a way to take it to the grave. Good for him.
In the next few months, this will be pretty much left to picking up stragglers. But let's agree to fight fraud w/o regard to race, creed, color. We are going to have to pull together to get out of this, and it will take years. That's the damage that has been done.
oh stuff your political correctness up your butt
this disaster robbed every American blind, and I'm not holding my tongue
you see it all over the place, madoff, then there's the guy who robbed actor nicolous cage blind, samual levin
dont like people making cracks about jews stealing?
HOW BOUT JEWS QUIT STEALING?!?!?!
I even read an article by a Jew who said the real problem was a lack of social pressure in the Jewish community, to succeed with integrity
he couldnt have been more right
even someone who was the very tail end of the baby boomers can rember a time when really vicious unprovoked polish jokes "polack jokes' were told wholesale and mainstream. (I'm not polish, BTW, or close to anyone who is) People who never knew a pole, or were harmed in any way by one, or who ever knew an act of foolishness by one. Poles, to their extreme credit, never made themselves to be a 'victim class'. Think about it - anyone born before 1968 knows what I say is true - you can remember the jokes, but you cant recall them being crybabys. The jokes were eventually replaced with a popular polish pope and an anti communist cold war leader Lech Wa³êsa
yet, people who freaking robbed our country blind, in financial terrorism expect a complete pass, in the same year they did it
They should have the parties and cancel the bonuses
Not a fan of GS but this is a communist thread. GS should not of taken money from govt but they do have some of the smartest people working there in the world regardless of religion. If they were smart enough to beat their competitors then some bonus should be deserved. IRS are thieves not Jews. I have seen how other companies operate.. Management at large banks such as Citi or JPM are totally retarded especially ops, all they do is what they are told without thinking. I see people running 1000 page reports that can easily be put on excel to save paper and ink... but no one cares at GS this would never happen. They reward those who think and logically apply their ideas... not a fan GS because of arrogance and way they treat workers... but if they did something smarter than someone else did were compensated for it thats fine..
better the money goes to employees than they hoard all of it..

Oh my gosh...swtrader, are you really that stupid?!
Do you not differentiate between nationality and religion?
Have Polish people been persecuted without reason since recorded history?
What's your rationale for the persecution of Jews before they supposedly "destroyed the economy" as you put it.
And if you want to bash Jews for the actions of a few of them on Wall Street, then you should also take the time to remember the one who have saved or improved countless lives through medicine, science, social service, etc. You are truly a hateful bigot.

Maybe if the jewish people in my area were not the meanest and most selfish people I have ever met, almost every one of them, I would care.
interesting how any negative comment about jews is labeled anti semetic......so if a jewish person steals from me, and I call the police, I am an anti semite.
