D voters now like Goldman Sachs.

That doesn't tell you something, that the movers and shakers in this economy want nothing to do with Trump?

It should.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

I'd tell Goldman to stick it up their ass

That doesn't tell you something, that the movers and shakers in this economy want nothing to do with Trump?

It should.

You're too stupid and ill informed to know Goldman has been in the tank for Cankles for a long time.

 

[Skull Pilot]

There is no way they can tell their employees who to give campaign contributions to

 

[blackhawk]

Might just be me but it seems like a company banning its employees from making donations to their candidate of choice would be illegal.

It should.

Tells me that the people wanting to pay off government officials in return for favors wants nothing to do with Trump,
Hasn't the left been complaining about how the government favors corporations?
You would think that someone as upstanding and non hypocritical as a member of the democratic party is, would seriously have to reconsider voting for Clinton after this obvious display of false place loyalty by the very type of corporation the leftist voter hates.

The Goldman Sachs memo is a reminder of SEC regulations which limit contributions to state officials who have control over pensions.

Pence, as Governor, has control over state pensions.

Kaine, a US Senator, does not.

Goldman Sachs was fined in 2012 for making contributions to the Massachusetts state treasurer who was running for governor.

 

[JoeB131]

You're too stupid and ill informed to know Goldman has been in the tank for Cankles for a long time.

Actually, what Goldman has done historically is support both sides.

Except this time, they know that Trumpenfuhrer is a dangerous lunatic.

Now, when Socialists and Nazis are serious contenders, that should be a clear sign that the system is broken. Goldman is just taking the only sane option on the board right now.

Goldman Sachs fined $12 million over campaign contribution charge

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. will pay about $12 million to resolve U.S. regulatory claims that a former banker made improper campaign contributions to the state treasurer of Massachusetts while seeking underwriting business from his office.

Now you know the WHOLE truth.


Fox News is VERY good at lying by omission.

"The policy change is also meant to minimize potential reputational damage caused by any false perception that the firm is attempting to circumvent 'pay-to-play rules'..."

As I showed in my posts above, Goldman Sachs was fined for violating the SEC's pay-to-play rules in 2012.

They don't want to get fined again.

From the 2012 article to which I linked above:

“The pay-to-play rules are clear: municipal finance professionals that use their firm’s resources to campaign on behalf of political candidates compromise themselves and the firms that employ them,” Khuzami said in the SEC’s statement.

 

[LaDexter]

Anyone still confused as to which candidate Goldman supports....


Goldman - they must be "poor" since they support the "party of the poor..."

They are supporting a socialist and Nazi when the support Clinton. No question she is a socialist and there is also no question she is all for keeping the negro in the inner city hood dependent on government handouts.

Goldman Sachs bans employee donations to Trump, not Clinton | Fox News

I don't know who's more witless:

• you, OP,
• Anna Giaritelli (the Washington Examiner writer of the article Fox picked up), or
• Fox for having picked up the article.

The Fox article states:

The rule, effective Sept. 1, said "any federal candidate who is a sitting state or local official (e.g., governor running for president or vice president, such as the Trump/Pence ticket, or mayor running for Congress), including their Political Action Committees (PACs)" are not allowed to receive donations from the firm's 467 partners.

Trump's team is expected to give the company grief for the policy since it allows Hillary Clinton's running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, to receive financial support because [Tim Kaine] is not considered a local official under Goldman's rules. Contrastingly, Trump's vice presidential nominee Mike Pence is ineligible for donations because of his position as governor of Indiana.
​

Since when is a Senator from a given state not a "state official?" Both of them represent in the U.S. Senate the whole damn state from which they are sent.

Just how illiterate does one need to be to comprehend "for example" to mean "including and limited to?"

The hypocrisy of the Left is truly amazing.

Remember Bernie? If not for her cheating, he might beaten Cankles. Bernie was the polar opposite of Cankles, yet it appears his supporters have dutifully fallen in line. Is that not the epitome of hypocrisy?

If the millions of Bernie supporters vote Cankles, they are f**king crazy. She is of the 1%....the leading stooge for the billionaire class. A liar, cheat, and criminal elitist and opportunist. A crony capitalist of the highest order. She IS EXACTLY who Bernie railed against.

See? Kooky libs like Goldman Sachs.

Kooky libs ARE one with the 1%.
