(After getting a bailout of $8 billion from the US taxpayer - you and me - and the Federal Reserve.) NOTE: The Republicans complain bitterly to everyone who will listen that corporations in America are taxed more than anywhere in the world - a tax rate of 55%. So how much tax did Goldman Sachs pay to the IRS and into the US Treasury in 2008? After their $8 billion gift from the taxpayers? They paid $14 million in tax. Fourteen million dollars. Less than one-tenth of one percent. (What happened to 55% tax rates??? How much percent do YOU pay in tax? Or me? Us pathetic jerks? In my case, about 27%. But hey, $14 million was a lot - Verizon got a tax refund!) $14 million is about a third or less of the take-home pay in 2008 of Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs. So he got three times as much as the Treasury, which donated $8 billion to his company. A gift from you and me, taxpayers one and all. Did you ever know you were such a generous guy?<br /><br />How did they do it? Because it is perfectly legal for publicly traded corporations to keep TWO sets of books - one for the SEC and Wall Street, and one for the IRS. Trust me - I was an accountant for 40 years, and I know.<br /><br />And why is this still legal, in these days of budget deficits and screw-the-poor-and-hungry-slobs America? Well, try this fact on for size: The largest contributor to Barack Obama's campaign in 2008 was - hold on to your seat - cue the trumpet fanfare - Goldman Sachs!<br /><br />Heard enough yet, or shall I continue?<br /><br />Does your asshole hurt yet, or can you take some more abuse from our lords and masters, both Republicans and Democrats?<br /><br />Try a little K-Y jelly, it might ease the pain.<br /><br /> - Lemuel Gulliver.<br /><br />PS: "This land is your land, this land is my land..." etc. etc. And the Tooth Fairy still goes out on dates with the Easter Bunny.<br />Lemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-87623090925758153662014-04-30T02:29:19.974-06:002014-04-30T02:29:19.974-06:00Mr Grigg,
Another superb and rage-inducing essay. ...Mr Grigg,<br />Another superb and rage-inducing essay. Thank you.<br /><br />To Anonymous @ 11:07 AM:<br /><br />Please don't suppose that Harry Reid is one-of-a-kind. The article mentions the Carlin Trend. (Go re-read Mr. Grigg's reference.) Back in the 1980's, a tiny Canadian mining company called Barrick Gold tried unsuccessfully to get the lease from the BLM/Interior Department to develop a claim in that Nevada gold deposit. Perhaps due to the fact that the land really belongs to the Shoshone, the Interior Department refused their application all through the Reagan and Poppy Bush administrations. When Poppy Bush lost the election in November 1992, he fast-tracked the approval of the lease through the Interior Department and Barrick got their gold mine.<br /><br />The value of the gold in that claim at today's prices is about $50 billion. How much did the lease cost Barrick, which they paid to the Interior Department, to be deposited in the Treasury of the United States for the benefit of each and every American citizen? Barrick paid the princely sum of $10,000. Yes, your eyes did not deceive you. Not a typo. Ten. Thousand. Dollars.<br /><br />Bruce Babbitt, Clinton's Secretary of the Interior, who took office shortly thereafter, called it "The biggest gold heist since Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." I kid you not - his very words.<br /><br />Barrick today is the world's largest gold mining company.<br /><br />But that's not the real end of the story. The kicker is that six months after leaving the Presidency, George Herbert Walker Bush, loyal and staunch Republican and the darling of 50 million Republlican voters, was retained by Barrick Gold as a "Consultant". How much of the $50 billion did he get? Well, nobody knows, because he was then, and is now, a private citizen, and not required to disclose his tax returns. What does G.H.W.B. know about gold mining? Well, nothing, except how to screw the American people out of $50 billion buckaroos (minus ten thousand dollars) of their wealth and siphon some of it into his own pocket.<br /><br />So by all means pour scorn on Harry Reid. But save some for the Republican oligarchs on the other side of the aisles in Congress.<br /><br />They are ALL a lying, thieving, murdering, filthy, vile, rotten bunch of vermin. All of them, Republican and Democrat. The whole Party-Politics Kabuki Theater in Washington is purely to keep us moronic assholes - you and me - preoccupied and fighting with each other while they screw us all - Republican voters and Democrat voters - up the ass. Without even some grease to lessen the pain.<br /><br />(CONTINUED...)Lemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-36343515761828867502014-04-29T11:07:35.482-06:002014-04-29T11:07:35.482-06:00Never know what you will find on the net:
