world countless jobs

We should line up outside Goldman's world headquarters in NYC -- 200 West Street New York, NY 10282 -- (only 19 minute walk from Zuccotti Park) and stand there with résumés, asking for interviews.

Reporter: "Why are you here with thousands of protesters demonstrating outside of Goldman Sachs?"

Interviewee: "Protesting Goldman??" I'm looking for a job. Goldman engaged in practices that resulted in the loss of countless jobs in recent years while profiting heavily and giving huge bonuses to its employees. Goldman took a bunch of jobs from our economy. We just want them back. They must be here somewhere so we're here in line with our resumes....waiting patiently to talk to them about the jobs. (Hands resume to reporter....

Resume says. "reasons I think I'm qualified to work here: 1) I would sell my own mother or buy yours to make a buck. 2) I'm not embarrassed to get huge bonuses for shuffling paper while millions of Americans are out of work and suffering. Etc.

3. Exactly what did they do to accomplish this?
"Goldman engaged in practices that resulted in the loss of countless jobs"

I have to say I don't get exactly what the gripe is. Is Goldman being blamed for the housing bubble?

6. Apparently you haven't been paying attention
Among other things, they set up the conditions for the current problems with the Euro and played a pivotal position in the 2006 crash and the resulting treasury raid.

All while paying themselves obscenely to do it.
