Seth Meyers & Amy Poehler Go Off On Goldman Sachs (VIDEO)

While thousands of at-risk Americans wait, some big Wall Street banks have already secured the in-demand swine flu vaccine for their employees. Goldman Sachs has received 200 doses -- the same amount as Lenox Hill Hospital.

Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler devoted their segment "Really?!? With Seth And Amy" to the subject last night,

SETH: I mean I know that to you guys swine flu is almost as terrifying as drinking tap water or sending your kids to public school but really?

AMY: Can you not read how mad people are at you? When most people saw the headline 'GOLDMAN SACHS GETS SWINE FLU VACCINE' they were super happy until they read the word 'vaccine.'

SETH: Also, Centers for Disease Control, you sent the vaccine to Wall Street before schools and hospitals? Really? Were you worried the swine flu might spread to the Hamptons and St. Barts? These are the least contagious people in the world. They don't even touch their own car-door handles.

THE SIX THINGS STEALING OUR DEMOCRACY AND TRUE CAP1TALISM (VAMP1RE BANKSTERS)

1. Our Corrupting V0TE Selling Campaign Funding System

2. The BANKSTER OWNED FED Reserve System manipulated by Foreign and Wall Street Banksters

3. Distorted TAX system - Go Back to 50 year Tradition= TOP TAX Rate of 63% to 94% on incomes over $550,000! Apply to Hedge Fundsters = NO MORE Capital Gains TAX!
Graph = http://pol.moveon.org/budget10/chart/?id=15734-8599887-MahjTHx&t=1

4. This CROP of Wall Street CR00KS CAN NOT BE REHAB1L1TATED, FAR T00 C0RRUPTED BY THE EASY SC_AM, and MUST GO! Same goes with Summers/Ge!thner!

5. Do away with any Product/De rivative/S wap that can NOT be put on an OPEN EXCHANGE because it is too complex. Do away with “TOO-COMPL EX-TO-EXIS T”

6. Use the added Revenue from #3 to build a NEW Manufacturing Economy that creates EXPORT WEALTH and SOLVES our ENERGY IMPORTATION from Our Enemies.

Overcome these SIX Problems and A Functional Democracy by the People and for the People will blossom.

[PhilipTaylor]

TEN POINTS:

1. BANKSTERS GOT R1CH EASY WAY=USING HIDDEN FEES ON CROOKED INSURANCE! CASINOS are MORE Regulated!

2. BANKSTERS CREATED VALUE FOR THEMSELVES EXTRACTING VALUE FROM SUCKERS WHO F00LISHLY THOUGHT MARKETS WERE FAIR.

3. BANKSTERS SKIMMED-OFF PROFITS BY DUMPING RISK (Hedging) on OTHERS+TAXPAYERS. BANKSTERS USE Taxpayer Money to Continue their Leveraged SCHEMES.

4. Financial Services=NOT America's future! Making goods=Look at China #1 Creditor Nation!

5. BONUSES =KEEP THEIR BEST AND BRIGHTEST (MOST UNETHICAL) TH1EVES? This CROP of Wall Street CR00KS CAN NOT BE REHAB1L1TATED, FAR T00 C0RRUPTED BY EASY SCAMS! MUST GO!

6. BANKSTER System PROFITS=SKIMMED INTO EMPLOYEE POCKETS= NO SUCCESS

7. WALL STREET INCOMES = 400 to 550 TIMES the Average American
INEQUALITY=BUILDS THRIFT+CHARACTER IN POPULOUS = G0D’S WILL+NATURAL ORDER
INEQUALITY=Hard work+ Excellence+ Economic growth+30 Million Unemployed
INEQUALITY= Saves Stardom for the STARS?
We must Return to a TOP TAX RATE of 63% to 94% for 50 years pre-Reagan on incomes over $550,000 (70% on $212,000 in 1981)!

8. BANKSTER PROFITS TRICKLE-DOWN to Workers making Luxury Yachts and Such!
Untrue in Broad Sense!
TAX TOP INCOMES TO DENY DRAINING OF VALUE from REAL Economy +Replenish Gov Budgets!

9. BONUSES MEAN = NO GOVERNMENT CONTROL = MORE THEFT

10. BANKSTERS DID NOT CAUSE CRISIS (MUCH)?
Madison Avenue Mortgage Marketing+ Wall Street Created FEE LOADED MORTGAGE DERIVATIVES!
Wall Street Ownership of Government and Laws created the Vacuum of Controls on Finance!

[PhilipTaylor]

G0LDMAN = THEFT and MORE THEFT!

Extracting Value out of the REAL ECONOMY!

NANOSECOND AUTOMATED THEFT IS THEIR NEWEST GAME!

AMERICA'S RUINATION IS THE END RESULT! Thanks B1ankfe!n!
________________

G0LDMAN+JPM+M0RGAN BONUSES = THEFT FROM AMERICANS

CBS Reports: WallSt Owns Congress=$­7.5 Million/4 years on Average to Each Senator!

BONUSES = 10% of OUTSTANDING TARP ($350 Billion) IN ONE QUARTER

Five Biggest WallSt Banks are $30-$81TRILLION IN HOLE! ZERO loans to Main Street/Urban America!

$26 Trillion in Bailouts=Saved Banks+BONUSES = PAY IT BACK - RIGHT NOW!

[ILuvBubbles]

The rich get all the perks and benefits and we get to laugh? Sigh... When are we going to demand change or something being done to help the American people not just the wealthy? People are on this post debating the skit instead of the ongoing issues with Goldman Sacks, pathetic.

[skoooozle]

I voted for him and when I realized he larry summers of goldman sachs I knew I would never vote for another democrat again

[sanderson13]

I have two problems with this SNL piece:

1. They wait too long to poke fun at the CDC, who it seems to me should be the group to shoulder the blame for this. (I mean, couldn't you praise Goldman Sachs for securing the vaccine for their employees?)

2. It's not funny. :-P

[RogerHWerner]

I beg to differ...t­he piece is very funny. But I agree the CDC should have laughed out loud when they got the GS request but then could the request have come from a higher authority?

[haveyounodecency]

You have no sense of humor.

[loncowber]

I have no sense of humor, either. And no sense of decency. But I got a great sense of rhythym.

[karen1p]

"2. It's not funny. :-P"

Really!?! Are you a pig in a top hat with pockets full of money....c­uz that's just too easy.....R­EALLY!?!

[lyingtruth]

Blankfein is technically correct since GS worships money!

[repugnicansfearme]

Ugh!! Amy Poehler alert!! Let me know when her picture is gone.

[Leigh49]

If you despise her so much why did you click on this article?

[Siobhan11]

Do you dislike her comedy or her looks? If it is her looks, I feel sorry for you. It must be hard to be a beautiful person and sometimes have to look at people you personally don't find attractive.

[TallThinMan]

THE CEO OF GOLDMAN SACHS NEEDS TO DO GOD'S WORK AND USE SOME OF THAT BAILOUT MONEY TO BUY A HAIRPIECE!!

[HarryP]

Didn't the CEO of Goldman state that he is doing "God's" work?
If he is so why does he need vaccination - god will protect him to finish his work, or?

[MsAnn]

...and he should be donating it all to "god's" poor....

[ebanks84]

Money can buy you love and vaccines, I suppose!

[SlimPickins79]

....thats not how the song goes.

[GoldsteinD]

maybe the blame should be placed on the CDC for giving GS the vaccines?

[RogerHWerner]

CDC should get blame but then GS shouldn't have made the request in the first place.

[Elbrando]

Not that I would want anything bad to happen to people, but do people ever fantasize about putting a few extra ingediants in the vaccine that Goldman Suchs recieved.

PS. Really

[LeftLeanWing]

like some Suge Avery P.e.e

[karen1p]

or Botulism.

[mradamfam]

OMG!!! That was the funniest thing I've read. Thanks for the laugh!

[US1st2009]

goldman sachs has been the lead financial terrorist raping our economy and causing our financial crisis while telling their employees and blankfein's wife, per a HuffPo article, to avoid demonstrations of ostentatious wealth, privilege, and their billions in bonuses as our economy craters. these lame few lines are the best michaels and snl can do? goldman has been doing this for years, where have snl and michaels been?

michaels showed a little guts last year accurately calling out Herb and Marion Sandler and their "Golden West Financial" bank for being a major sub-prime scheisters and then when Herb and Marion pulled a few of michaels strings he pulled the web version and edited out the Herb and Marion Sandler bits.

gutless. michaels is owned just like wall street and our congress.

[SlimPickins79]

also i hear its a comedy show sometimes.­..

[US1st2009]

right, and John Stewart is currently rated as the most trusted voice in the News business.

i'm sure Gerald Ford, Nixon, Reagan, Carter, Clinton(s), both bushies, McCain, and palin, all thought it's just a comedy show with no political commentary whatsoever.

[US1st2009]

P.S. Really!

[BlackRabbit]

Goldman is a stereotypically Jewish name. You don't suppose the joke about "gold" and "sachs" was a veiled reference to greedy Jews, do you?

Naaaaaaaaaa, probably not. But if I were Amy I wouldn't go too far out on that ice.

[napasonoma]

Sounds as though you are the one handing out stereotypes, Blackie.

[BlackRabbit]

I didn't tell the joke, nap. I just pointed out the possibility - perhaps slight - of misinterpretation.
