- Date
- 2010
- Reference
- DCDL-0014241
- Description
The cartoon shows a huge octopus that represents Goldman Sachs and which grips with its tentacles many buildings in Wall Street. A man clutching a pop-gun gets caught up in a tentacle. The cartoon includes text reading 'The American Way'. Refers to the grip that finance companies like Goldman Sachs have on the American economy. The general opinion is that Wall Street financial firms have made greed their highest priority and as a result caused the debilitating financial crisis. Editorial cartoons in U.S. newspapers depict those working in the banking industry as unethical and impudent. Goldman Sachs is the target of public wrath and under investigation by prosecutors. The Obama administration is also pushing hard for financial reforms to prohibit excessively risky deals in the financial sector.
