“We are Wall Street. It’s our job to make money. Whether it’s a commodity, stock, bond, or some hypothetical piece of fake paper, it doesn’t matter. We would trade baseball cards if it were profitable. I didn’t hear America complaining when the market was roaring to 14,000 and everyone’s 401k doubled every 3 years. Just like gambling, its not a problem until you lose. I’ve 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 you’re only going to hurt yourselves. What’s going to happen when we can’t find jobs on the Street anymore? Guess what: We’re going to take yours. We get up at 5am & work till 10pm or later. We’re used to not getting up to pee when we have a position. We don’t take an hour or more for a lunch break. We don’t demand a union. We don’t retire at 50 with a pension. We eat what we kill, and when the only thing left to eat is on your dinner plates, we’ll 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? We’re 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. I’ll be hitting grounders to the high school baseball team for $5k extra a summer, thank you very much.
So now that we’re going to be making $85k a year without upside, Joe Mainstreet is going to have his revenge, right? Wrong! Guess what: we’re going to stop buying the new 80k car, we aren’t going to leave the 35 percent tip at our business dinners anymore. No more free rides on our backs. We’re 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 it’s 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 aren’t 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 supply…will he? and will they?”

A administração Bush teve o maior deficit publico da historia, enfiou os EUA em 2 guerras carissimas e sem fim.... Uma administração totalmente contra os ideais libertarios! Muito pelo contrario, acho que nunca um governo americano foi tão incisivo em cercear a liberdade individual, quanto a administração Bush!
Mesmo assim, eu não via tanta queixa dos liberais de wall street, da fox e de tantos outros... isto porquê eles estavam fazendo muito dinheiro com a desregulamentação da economia americana, iniciada no gov. Reagan!
Eu não sou a favor do Obama, e tão pouco sou contra o liberalismo! Mas sempre procuro ter muito cuidado ao erguer a bandeira politica de outras pessoas!
E isto é algo que eu aprendi com o PT! (isto é uma mea culpa) !
Isto porque, americanos, brasileiros, noruegueses, comunistas, liberais, anarquistas, etc, etc, etc... não importa, somos todos seres humanos viciados em tirar o nosso da reta e apontar a culpa ao próximo sem pudor!
Cara, a grande maioria republicana é conservadora ou neoconservadora. Nenhum libertário gosta dos republicanos. Como nenhum liberal no Brasil gosta do DEM por exemplo.
O movimento Occupy Wall Street não é partidário, apesar de ser composto por maioria esquerdista. E essa resposta é de um trader anônimo de algum banco de Wall Street e provavelmente ele também não é partidário.
Obviamente, todo libertário é contra a associação dos grandes bancos com o governo e o FED nos EUA. Nenhum banco deveria ter sido salvo assim como o governo não deveria ter subsidiado a taxa de juros por tanto tempo e ter criado tanto incentivos no mercado imobiliário e subprime.
Tudo bem, mas a galera de wall street era bem mais "suiça" durante a administração Bush do que durante a administração Obama!
Veja o tom das criticas ao governo Obama do seu queridinho Ron Paul e o tom das criticas que ele fazia a administração Bush!
Ele chama o governo Obama de tirano, porque ele tira dinheiro do contribuinte pra fornecer planos de saude publicos e evitar a quebra do sistema financeiro americano... do que ele deveria chamar o Bush que usou o dinheiro do contribuinte pra atacar o Iraque?
De tirano também. Ele não se dava com o Bush, apesar de ter sido senador pelo Texas na mesma época. Tem uma entrevista em que ele diz que durante todo o tempo ele encontrou o Bush uma única vez e só cumprimentou. Ele votou contra a invasão do Iraque como senador e foi o único candidato já em 2008 a ser totalmente contra a Guerra. Ele não é um republicano conservador, é libertário.
Veja o plano dele caso ganhe as eleições: http://www.ronpaul.com/media/RestoreAmericaPlan.pdf
Eu sei que ele não dava suporte ao governo Bush... mas as criticas dele eram bem menos contundentes! Eu ja vi o plano de governo dele, é interessante, mas não acho plausivel!
