Not that this applies to most on ET, but amusing anyway. I did not write this.
âWe are Wall Street. Itâs our job to make money. Whether itâs a commodity,
stock, bond, or some hypothetical piece of fake paper, it doesnât matter. We
would trade baseball cards if it were profitable. I didnât hear America
complaining when the market was roaring to 14,000 and everyoneâs
401k doubled every 3 years. Just like gambling, its not a problem until
you lose. Iâve never heard of anyone going to Gamblers Anonymous
because they won too much in Vegas.
Well now the market crapped out, & even though it has come back somewhat,
the government and the average Joes are still looking for a scapegoat. God
knows there has to be one for everything. Well, here we are.
Go ahead and continue to take us down, but youâre only going to hurt
yourselves. Whatâs going to happen when we canât find jobs on the Street
anymore? Guess what: Weâre going to take yours. We get up at 5am & work till
10pm or later. Weâre used to not getting up to pee when we have a position.
We donât take an hour or more for a lunch break. We donât demand a union. We
donât retire at 50 with a pension. We eat what we kill, and when the only
thing left to eat is on your dinner plates, weâll eat that.
For years teachers and other unionized labor have had us fooled. We were
too busy working to notice. Do you really think that we are incapable of
teaching 3rd graders and doing landscaping? Weâre going to take your cushy
jobs with tenure and 4 months off a year and whine just like you that we are
so-o-o-o underpaid for building the youth of America. Say goodbye to your
overtime and double time and a half. Iâll be hitting grounders to the high
school baseball team for $5k extra a summer, thank you very much.
So now that weâre going to be making $85k a year without upside, Joe
Mainstreet is going to have his revenge, right? Wrong! Guess what: weâre
going to stop buying the new 80k car, we arenât going to leave the 35
percent tip at our business dinners anymore. No more free rides on our
backs. Weâre going to landscape our own back yards, wash our cars with a
garden hose in our driveways. Our money was your money. You spent it. When
our money dries up, so does yours.
The difference is, you lived off of it, we rejoiced in it. The Obama
administration and the Democratic National Committee might get their way and
knock us off the top of the pyramid, but itâs really going to hurt like hell
for them when our fat a**es land directly on the middle class of America and
knock them to the bottom.
We arenât dinosaurs. We are smarter and more vicious than that, and we are
going to survive. The question is, now that Obama & his administration are
making Joe Mainstreet our food supplyâ¦will he? and will they?â
