CakeOrDemocracy: Lloyd Blankfein channels Leona Helmsley
http://cakeordemocracy.blogspot.com/2012/11/lloyd-blankfein-channels-leona-helmsley.html
Political and Social Blog. Thursday, November 29, 2012. Lloyd Blankfein channels Leona Helmsley. Here's to the little people. WE don't pay Taxes. As the late hotel-chain-owning billionaire Leona Helmsley famously said in 1983, "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.". Of course she was later jailed for tax evasion. Helmsley isn’t the only rich person who was consumed with little people. We now have Lloyd Blankfein CEO of Goldman Sachs. Look, I‘m a reasonable guy. Take Lloyd for example.

Political and Social Blog. Monday, May 21, 2012. JPMorgan Chase and Co and the Gong Show. I must admit to having a soft spot for J.P. Morgan. Not JPMorgan Chase and Co., the largest bank in the United States with assets of $2 trillion. Jaye P. Morgan. I am talking about Jaye P. Morgan who served during the 1970's as a celebrity judge on “The Gong Show”. The Gong Show was an amateur talent contest that was similar to today’s "America’s Got Talent" but it was a whole lot weirder. Recently after lawmakers f...

Political and Social Blog. Friday, January 25, 2013. How would you like to have a rebellion named after you? There has been much debate over the 2. Amendment and the associated issue of gun control. It is a very complicated subject and both sides have ample supporting evidence for their polar positions. One of the rationales for those opposed to gun control is the issue of guns and implied right to overthrow a tyrannical government. I am going to focus on that aspect in this blog. But they capitalized le...

Political and Social Blog. Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Oh where have you gone Joe DiMaggio. I mean. Phil Donahue. What would the “Father of Modern Talk Shows” think about the Jerry Springer-like atmosphere manifesting itself at the Republican Presidential debates?
