this could be their way of saying "see he got goldman sachs contributions". Doesn't look like 2,500 would do much anyhow. Are these contributions from employees?such as tellers?

From individual donors who listed Goldman Sachs as their employers on the contribution form.

Most of them are honest. They're pretty honest about their desire to make a buck no matter where it comes from.

Yeah that's really good!

For all we know that could be the guy who mops the floor at Goldman Sachs.

Exactly. At least we know some folks working at these institutions get it...

 

[Cowlesy]

GS has thousands of employees. Not all of them are Fabrice Tourre's arrogantly trying to sell stuff he thinks is crap.

I'm not at Goldman, but I'm at one of the Big 4 accounting firms and I just donated $1K to Ron. We (the Big 4) stand a lot to lose with a Ron Paul presidency as he's proposing an immediate end to Sarbanes-Oxley as well as his overall approach of looking at the root cause of problems and not just trying to fix them with regulations. You see, every time there's a huge financial meltdown, the government issues more and more regulations which means more and more work (aka $$ and jobs) for the accounting industry (even though, at times, WE are part of the root problem).

Just because your entire firm stands to lose from RP doesn't mean each individual within the firm would lose. I don't need government propping up my industry by creating false demand. I need to be free. One guy at Goldman Sachs probably feels the same way. The other hundred thousand obviously chose a different path.

With an even number like $2500, my guess is one single person maxed out for Ron that works there.

I train people on Wall Street, I know many good people at GS, DB, MGS, etc. who are just doing their jobs, many who are definetley a lot more sympathetic to Libertarianism after taking my courses.

98% of the people one wall street are good people just trying to support the family (some have high salaries, but living in places like summit new jersey or Suffolk county is pretttty expensive that high salary gives a typical suburban middle class lifestyle) There are definetley a few bad apples, and I've met many of them, but many are just cogs in a system who's ability to calculate risk and reward has been distorted by cheap money and bad credit policy.

Although, most of the higher level people I've met seem to be sympathetic the most to either Romney, Huntsman or Gingrich

Palin, Perry, or Cain seem to be non-starters. The biggest hold back for people around here tend to be his view of the FED, but that's because people in the industry pretty much have grown up with the FED at the center of their industry so it's hard for them to accept that kind of change... plus a lot of the economist around here are more focused on short term market behavior than quality of life... cause that's their job which Is why you have to CNBC and Fox Business with a grain of salt and context.

They probably have a political pac that gives $2500 to everyone on the finance committee or something, or it could be a bunch of guys in the mail room .... even Goldman Sachs has a mailroom... But honestly, there are a lot of people who love this country but just don't see how they by themselves can fix things. Working for a living doesn't make you evil. It is the policy makers causing the problems, and there are not that many of those.
