Spare change?
I’ve written about Goldman Sachs and Piggies before, but my daughter inspired me today, feeding change to her pig.
Goldman’s is a story of greed, power and collusion. They fueled an enormous Real Estate bubble by creating toxic assets from doomed mortgages. They called them safe and sold them to trusting people. Mountains of money from whitewashing risk wasn’t enough, it gets much worse.
Using AIG, they bet against their own products, cashing in on their customer’s misfortune. Outraged yet?
Next, former Goldman CEO Henry Paulson fed them the Fed bailout. After defrauding a billion people with the free market lie, they use our taxes to post record profits of $3.44 billion, while 10% (or 17%) are unemployed.

When my 18 month-old saw daddy empty the bank from the bottom, she tried, but couldn’t. She quickly got fed up feeding an unfair pig. Game over!
We can feed a different kind of change to rich pigs. Stop giving them your allowance. Don’t let them enslave us with their free market.

Well said! Real change isn't handed down from above. It's crafted over time from the raw materials of trust and individual fortitude. Empower the individual and the rest will follow.
