1. Evil fuckers....
They just spew lies like venom. I'm sure the loud asshole made a killing in mortgage backed securities, and now he's throwing poor people under the bus.

7. Did the same traders cry 'socialism' for Paulson's giveaway bank bailout?
I think not. It's 'lemon socialism' for Wall Street investment banks and 'you're own your own' for Main Street.

Wall Street wants us, the taxpayers, to totally bail out them and their shareholders. They will not be happy otherwise. These 'zombie' banks need to fail. Otherwise, we will never get out of this mess we are in.

2. I don't think they realize Republicans lost in November.
Give the money to people who can 'carry the water'? Has the trickle-down scam morphed into a carry-the-water myth now? That water-carrying doesn't seem like it's worked very well for us lately. Maybe we should try something else besides their trickling and carrying.

4. He carries the water while others just drink it!
What does a trader do to "carry the water?" There work provides absolutely no tangible output, so he rant is ridiculous from the start.
