What's contradictory about my Goldman Sachs position? I've clearly stated the issue I have with Goldman Sachs, it's their employees running the government. That isn't capitalism, at best it's cronyism, at worst it's nothing more than corruption we see in other countries. Do you question Goldman Sachs employees who are working in the government, deciding who goes out of business and who gets taxpayer money? Start with Lehman Bros, they were allowed to die while Goldman Sachs walks away with ten billion free of charge with no responsibility to pay it back. Should have been no bailouts at all, automotive, banking, or housing. Hell, TARP wasn't even used for TARP. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

"Do you have any cognitive dissonance at all when you rail against Goldman Sachs but for unbridled capitalism?" Of course not. Rush or Beck hasn't mentioned that. Although Beck is drifting in that direction. I wonder if we will see some heads exploding when that happens...
