Hey Wall Street....

[WCGreen]

Pull yourself up by your boot straps...

Jesus H. Christ...

These Captains of Industry, these He-Men of Finance, these slick ass con men....

Are the first to tell people down on their luck that they should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps...

Don't look to the government to solve your problems, they say...

If you can't solve your problems then you are just inferior, they claim...

But the minute, no the second things go south...

Who's the first person, the first entity they call upon to bail them out...

You guessed it...

The federal government in the guise of Ben Bernanke...

The Fed has to help us...

Is the cry on Wall Street these days...

Save us from ourselves...

All this rampant speculation, there are so many bubbles these days that you'd think they were in the bath tub with Mr. Bubbles, is supported by a tax system that favors the gains from that speculation over work...

Maybe they should have a 12 step program for Wall Street Moguls...

I don't know...

It's so fucked up when my clients, who worked hard to get a home and save for their futures, are probably paying a greater percent of their income in taxes than the guy who is destroying Bear Sterns...

Well, we worship Mammon as a culture...

why should we expect anything else...

1. Suck it Wall Street., your shell game is going to collapse and collapse HARD.

[Nitrogenica]

2. Remember 2 years ago when Wall Street Chrismas bonuses equalled

how much the rest of America spent on Christmas shopping?

They all celebrated that, along with the news media who reported it.

Their greed has no remorse.

3. Much too wordy...

"GO FUCK YOURSELVES" makes the point much more succinctly

[shraby]

4. Shysters like those on wall street should be

charged with fraud and put on trial with a long jail sentence staring them in the face. What they did is worse than Enron and the S&L scandal. There should be personal penalties against the perps as well as corporate penalties.
