I know some people prefer money over morality and integrity, but personally, I am satisfied that these guys have to struggle to get people to work for them. In my ideal world, people would grow spines and would not work for these shady big companies.

Goldman and its ilk may be responsible for the financial crisis, but the financial crisis was painful for ordinary people because Wall Street stopped performing its function in the economy. Business ground to a halt and companies laid off workers in large part because credit dried up.

If these big shady companies are immoral because of that time their operations slowed, imagine what would happen if you got your wish.

Google "Goldman Sacks starvation" sometime.

Consider that your personal morals aren't the same thing as a One True Morality.

Not to mention that Goldman isn't even paying top of market. So your statement about greed is completely misguided.
