Looks like you're perfectly willing to have Taibbi do your thinking for you.Aw, c'mon. Admit what really bothers you....Taibbi's complaint about who does you folks' thinking for you, and your lack of political-sophistication.
Taibbi is the man. Like him or not you gotta take what he says seriously. He is one of the best investigative newsmen in the nation and his articles on the causes of the recession are all outstanding.
The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money. In fact, the history of the recent financial crisis, which doubles as a history of the rapid decline and fall of the suddenly swindled dry American empire, reads like a Who's Who of Goldman Sachs graduates.

I didn't like this Vampire Squid article at all. Criticisms of Goldman during this crisis are very fair, but it was pretty clear that he wrote an article with a conclusion in mind then back-filled and selectively molded facts to fit his thesis.

But you can't dispute his facts and they were legion.
Oh, yes, because the attitude that demands the business community provide jobs despite the left's anti-business attitude AND gratefully accept leftist abuse is so well-grounded.I don't generally take anyone seriously when they prove themselves disconnected from reality.Taibbi is the man.

Oh the irony!
I can dispute his interpretation of his facts. He leaves the impression that Goldman is behind all the bad stuff that has happened in the market over the past century. That's nonsense. Goldman was a minor player in the Tech Bubble, for example. Most of the crap that was floated during the Tech Bubble was not underwritten by Goldman.

Oh the irony!
If they're summed up by "Fuck the business community!", I don't really need to.Oh, yes, because the attitude that demands the business community provide jobs despite the left's anti-business attitude AND gratefully accept leftist abuse is so well-grounded.Oh the irony!
You clearly have not read any of Taibbi's articles.

Oh? He doesn't hold the business community in contempt? Why then would he say to fuck them?If they're summed up by "Fuck the business community!", I don't really need to.You clearly have not read any of Taibbi's articles.
Then don't pretend to have an opinion about his pov, or his attitude.
You don't have an opinion of Taibbi, you just have uninformed bs.

Don't you just hate it when liberals reveal their true feelings, and you feel obligated to play the "The Liberal Didn't Say What He Said" game?

He holds Goldman Sachs in contempt and isn't waiting on them to provide jobs or any of the other bullshit you pretended he was about. You know, this bs:
Oh, yes, because the attitude that demands the business community provide jobs despite the left's anti-business attitude AND gratefully accept leftist abuse is so well-grounded.
Goldman Sachs isn't the business community so you pretty much whiffed 3 times.
So that explains why he said, "Fuck Goldman Sachs!"Oh? He doesn't hold the business community in contempt? Why then would he say to fuck them?Then don't pretend to have an opinion about his pov, or his attitude.

George, I hate to break this to you, but the author was using hyperbole. There really aren't any solid gold yachts.And if the government encouraged Fat Bastard Boss Man to move "his" jobs to Mexico through tax bias, does that solid gold yacht come from the government?

Oh, wait...
Say, I found something that illustrates your view of the role of government in the economy:
I am a Democrat because I believe a healthy economy depends on good jobs at good wages. So fork 'em over, you fat bastard boss man.
I am a Democrat because I believe the government should step in to create good jobs when that fat bastard boss man moves my good job to Mexico. Hey, I know! Maybe we can take all the money that boss man spends on non-job-creating stuff, like solid gold yachts and mink spats, and use that money to create jobs.
