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