Also where do you draw the line at profit. Last year there was 4 or 5 derivative firms where individuals landed billion dollar salaries betting against the US economy.

One guy earned $3,700,000,000.
$1.85m per hour.

This is real money that has come out of the pockets of every American. They can only do that where they have the system set up and legislation in place to fleece the economy. There is a massive separation of wealth going on between Wall street and main street.

The top 1% of the population own 42% of the wealth and that percentage is growing rapidly.

Goldman Sachs is a leech on the US economy. They have implemented legislation through government that screw the American people. The latest and biggest fraud is Cap and Trade. Brought to reality using the EPA’s CO2 as a pollutant ruling. Cap and trade, the biggest tax hike in history, effectively a tax on the air you breathe. Every activity that you will ever make will incur a carbon tax cost and where will it go. 65% to the government and 35% as a fee to the likes of Goldman Sachs.

How much money did Goldman Sachs make betting against the US economy?

Goldman Sachs is bigger and more powerful than the government.

Separating wealth from society.

There would not be a Goldman Sachs or a banking system if it was not for the bail out of the big banks across the world – Then they thrive this year in a false economy created by the pumping of Tax dollars into the economy that enables Goldman Sachs to buy money at historic low rates; making their profits easier to generate and artificially large. Some recognition of that, my explain why many tax payers are so upset; as Goldman Sachs prosper many on main street lost their jobs and houses in a recession they did not cause.
