[QUOTE="FtcdatSAPoD, post: 61209613, member: 311828"] This is something we would both agree on and its an awful thing to do to a not-for-profit bank that is trying to help the little guy: [COLOR=red][I][B]A controversy in the banking community has arisen around the Occupy Wall Street movement. Greg Palast investigates the story behind Goldman Sachs’ recent decision to pull out of a fundraiser for the Lower East Side People’s Federal Credit Union in New York City after it learned the event was honoring the protesters at Occupy Wall Street. The investment bank withdrew its name from the fundraiser and also canceled a $5,000 pledge. Was the $5,000 a Goldman Sachs donation or actually American taxpayer bailout money Goldman set aside for community banks?[/B][/I][/COLOR] [I][B][COLOR=red][/COLOR][/B][/I] [B][I][COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR][/I][/B] [B][I][COLOR=#ff0000]www dot democracynow dot org...[/COLOR][/I][/B] One other thing, at least those who have responded on this thread have declared who they are and are probably acting upon their principles. I meet fundamentalist Christian after fundamentalist Christian who is accepting gladly OAS cheques (as God's goodness to them for their righteousness [????]) who then talk about "welfare bums". That is hypocrisy and that makes me very angry - much more than what anyone has said here. You are who you say you are much more than these people. GS has gone too far in this instance - they've been going too far for many years. GS has said this small not-for-profit bank will never receive another dollar again from anyone - something to that affect. [/QUOTE]
