Not that up with US stuff, but didn't GS get money from the government during the AIG bailout? If so, doesn't that give every one in the US complaining rights?
They paid TARP back but not the AIG backdoor bailout, iirc. That's the reason for the continuing brouhaha over AIG - Goldman (and other AIG counterparties) got 100% of what they had at risk with AIG, no haircut, all via the US govt bailout, and didn't pay it back (b/c it wasn't paid directly to them in the first place, hence 'backdoor' bailout).
