a response to "we are wall street"

Ok, we have heard that annoying "we are wall street" where someone dropped pamphlets meant to scare us about how we would be eaten alive if Wall Street execs lost their jobs...well someone pretty much destroyed that..:


An Open Letter To “We Are Wall Street” From Main Street

http://www.businessinsider.com/an-open-letter-to-we-are-wall-street-from-main-street-2011-10

a sample:

"So on that verbal note, let’s take a look at this “letter,” and pick it apart piece-by-piece, paragraph-by-paragraph.

“We are Wall Street. It's our job to make money.”: Yes, it is. But by that logic, when you lost money (on CMBS’ – God, you guys are so gullible) you should have lost your institutions, corporations, and, most importantly, your jobs. Instead, Daddy Government bailed you out, and now you’re claiming superiority? Yikes. If I were you, I’d be sucking Obama’s balls for keeping me in my office, rather than shooting off about how much better I am than everyone else. In short, I’d be embarrassed if I needed the government to keep me in my private sector job."

1. I don't consider what Wall Streeters do to be real work

They trade things that don't exist.

3. The American Dream

I know we've all heard it before, but listen carefully. How did Carlin know they were going to give our SS funds to Wall Street ... in 2005?

They did it in reverse order. First the bailouts ... then the talk of bankruptcy ... now the reductions in Medicare and SS. Folks, corporate profits are at an all time high. Carlin was 100% right.
