Dymphna Boholt on Goldman Sachs and their Bonuses in 2008

Dymphna Boholt woke up today rather flabbergasted and slightly irritated when she read the following headlines from the UK's Dailymail, which stated that the American investment bank Goldman Sachs which was on the verge of Bankrupty earlier this year, is about to hand out extravagant pre Christmas bonuses totaling £7billion for salaries and 2008 year-end bonuses.

The article further went on to state that Each of the firm's 443 partners is on course to pocket an average Christmas bonus of more than £3million. Just think about this for a second, this same people who are about to pick up this handy bailout from the American Taxpayer, are the very same people who have perpetuated this global financial crisis, we are now experiencing.

Dymphna asks you to imagine for a second that you are an American taxpayer and small time investor, who has prudently played the investment game the way it should be played with sound due diligence practices built into your investment systems, and then you turn on the TV, to hear that the high rolling Goldman Sachs executive who drives a red Ferrari, and lives on the biggest house on the block is about to collect is 10 millionaire plus bonus.

This is even though a few months earlier this very investment bank was pleading broke to the public, and was supposedly on the very of collapse. How would you feel about living in such a society? Would you be angry that, no matter what some people always get everything they want even though they should rightly be in either the bankruptcy court or jail?

Or do you say hey its my lot in life for the rich guys born into the right families to always get all the benefits, even though they do not deserve any. Were I American right now I would be very pissed off and disillusioned with the way society is functioning.

Dymphna Boholt has always stated that every citizen in every democratic society should always participate in the political process, in order to prevent Governments being captive to such bad policy. So People Get Out That and Vote. Whilst you are at it tell all your friends.
