This an interview of former Assistant Secretary of Treasury Paul Craig Roberts. At 2:40 (of the 3:08 interview) was this exchange:
Max Keiser: “Does the US Secretary of the Treasury work for the people or does he work for the banking system on Wall Street?”
Dr. Paul Craig Reports: “He works for Goldman Sachs.”
He also called the attempts to bail out the banking system to-date “a fraud.”

Employee is such an endearing term. I prefer ‘whore.’

Kuchinich to Kashkari: No question that you’re working, the question is, who are you working for?
GS has loyal operatives everywhere. But, if we’re going to pick on GS, why not pick on Big Pharm, MIC and all the others that have loyal operatives spread out in D.C.
It’s not a Wall Street problem… it’s a D.C. problem.

Ronin, you miss the point. Any corruption in banking will always be an order of magnitude more important because it corrupts our money, which in turn corrupts everything in the economy.
