And after you nearly melted down the economy eight years ago, shouldn't you still be doing penance? Fuck off, you blood-gargling psychopath.

5. Hey, what do you know...he's railing about the same bullshit that lots of millionaires rail about.

Its such an unfair world where corporations and rich people get sued for just trying to make a buck by cutting corners on safety and regulation at the people's expense. When has that behavior ever hurt anybody?
