     I don’t know! But their question mark symbol totally reminds me of another Alan Moore masterpiece, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

   It’s kind of scary that our stimulus tax dollars that went to the creeps at Goldman Sachs were spent on buying shares of Facebook. $450 million of your taxpayer dollars went into Facebook to buy shares that you’ll never have access to as a regular citizen.

   Enjoy Facebook, you paid for it! But just because you paid for it, doesn’t mean you own it.

   Excerpt from the blog entry:

   Even if we do buy shares of Facebook someday after they go public, we will never reap the wealth of those who got the secret, Goldman Sachs deals. And, by the way, we’re talking about the same Goldman Sachs which received billions from the much maligned Troubled Asset Relief Program, a.k.a. TARP (although, they did pay it back in 2009).

   There is nothing wrong with being wealthy and buying stock in a growing company. But the point is, taxpayers like me and you bailed out this company after they crashed the economy in 2008 – only so they could continue make private and insanely profitable deals with the wealthiest citizens.

     Also, the New York Times considers the deal pretty nasty.
