[Vision2020] Sachs it to me (us)

[Dave]

/From /http://slashdot.org/ :

"In 2009, Robert Cringely speculated that the day might be coming when 
Goldman Sachs decides the United States isn't worth dealing with 
<http://www.cringely.com/2009/08/is-technology-evil/> anymore. Crazy, 
eh? Maybe not. Blaming 'intense media attention,' Goldman Sachs has 
decided to exclude US investors from a $1.5 billion Facebook offering 
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12212043>. In a nicely-timed 
all-investors-are-not-created-equal MLK Day statement 
<http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2011/01/17/sorry-about-that-read-goldman-sachss-statement-on-excluding-us-facebook-investors/>, 
the US taxpayer bailout beneficiary 
<http://www.economicpopulist.org/content/goldman-sachs-paid-out-43-billion-us-taxpayer-money-foreign-companies> 
said, 'Goldman Sachs decided to proceed only with the offer to investors 
outside the US....We regret the consequences of this decision, but 
Goldman Sachs believes this is the most prudent path to take.'"
