He's not a politician, he doesn't have to.

Still, he's given dozens of billions in charity, given important counsel to the government during the 80s and 2008 financial crisis.

During 2008 financial crisis he essentially saved Goldman and General Electric both preventing further escape of capital and an even worse situation for the US and potentially world economy.

In any case, he's a capitalist who likes making money for himself and his shareholders, he ain't a medical researcher or your mayor.

Lol, his important counsel was “bail out my portfolio plz.” Saving businesses that deserved to fail using free money printed by the fed isn’t a virtue. He was also a big cheerleader for the frauds at Wells Fargo.
