There are times for genuine concern in life, but the antics of Wall Street may be of less necessity than they would like us to imagine.
Goldman Sachs has not nearly enough societal value to balance its social pollution. They need to be cut off immediately from all government subsidy and restrained in their ability to game the system.
Excessive size and leverage breeds interdependent fraud, political corruption and inefficiency, and pseudo-scientific rationales for the ridiculous from domesticated economists.
Take the big Wall Street Banks apart into self-sufficient components, save the depositors, and start worrying about the things that really matter.

"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.” Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863
