What social unrest in the US is he referring to?

[GeronL]

The United States ain’t creating no wealth right now, because it’ll get you punished (without a baby)

Of course Mr. Blankfein isn't referring to his wealth that needs to be redistributed, but yours.

Funny to see this today, I was glancing at a New York Magazine that has an article about all the Public Housing Projects in NYC.

Blakenfein actually grew up in one of the well known ones (I’m sorry I forget which one) back in the early 1960s when plenty of white working class people lived in them. His parents weren’t poor, but they were a far cry from even upper middle class. I remember his mom was a receptionist, I don’t remember what his dad did.

So, while I accept without question his empathy for poor people, I have to wonder how much of his own, personal, wealth he’s “redistributed”. And no, just paying taxes doesn’t count.

My brother once told me, if it didn’t hurt you didn’t really give. And we all know that taxes for a person of Mr. Blakenfein’s wealth are a drop in the bucket.

Fooled me!

Yeah redistributing wealth to the government has been a total disaster for everybody- rich, poor and inbetween.

Liberals are supremely generous with other people’s money. And somehow this makes them feel smuggly superior.

I’m tired of the jew bankers who think I have to feel guilty about having some money.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Distribute everyone’s wealth except his and his fellow elites!

Mr. Blankfein,
You are free to redistribute your own, please send your donation to the US Treasury.
Make check payable to : The US Taxpayer that saved your ass”

[gaijin]

Its like rush says;

When someone reallllly loaded starts moaning about their regret for rolling in clover, well, theyre simply trying to, as it were, vaccinate themselves against future outrage and collection efforts.

In other words they decry riches in order to stay rich and preferably to get richer.

No amount of redistribution of resources will ever change that life isn’t fair, Mr. Blankfein.

“I’m not saying … I’m a socialist,”

LMBO!!
The scumbag hypocrite, Blankfein, doesn't have to say it.

[Just mythoughts]

In a question and answer session with Royal Bank of Canada chief executive Gord Nixon, Mr. Blankfein, who’s net worth is more than US$232-million, quipped that “I’m not saying … I’m a socialist,” and went on to link the recent social unrest in the U.S. to its poor performance in achieving the second goal.

Obviously this guy knows darn well he is a socialist, maybe even a communist to need to say "I'm not saying - I'm a socialist".

I think he is referring to Obama's attack on Romney called 'OccupyWallStreet' is what he is calling our social unrest. Or maybe all those empty chair decorations across America.

To “distribute wealth”, other than through the normal conduct of commerce, is to destroy it.
