And I mean minimalist – with a razor blade!
Even tops Matt Taibbi’s: lead in Rolling Stone:
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.
Analyst Max Keiser takes all of 4 words to explain Goldman Sachs – and those last two words are two of em.
Anyway I can’t believe this ‘analysis’ was on TV. This is good for a laugh - click on the link and the first video clip:

Not that this makes a difference. As Taibbi wrote last week in ‘The real price of Goldman’s giganto-profits’:
Taken altogether, what all of this means is that Goldman’s profit announcement is a giant "fuck you" to the rest of the country. It is a statement of supreme privilege, an announcement that it feels no shame in taking subsidies and funneling them directly into their pockets, and moreover feels no fear of any public response. It knows that it’s untouchable and it’s not going to change its behavior for anyone. And it doesn’t matter who knows it.
If you haven’t voted in my sue the ass off of Goldman poll feel free to do so:

UPDATE:
Taibbi give Keiser props!
